Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 205 Li Xin
The thousand elite soldiers sent by Luo Rucai had bright armor and shiny weapons.Although the leading general was not sent, several martial arts figures including Bai Gang all came.

From now on, Bai Gang recommended Zhu Changyuan one by one, including Wang Maozi, Sun Hongbo, Lu Yunhai, and a young man named Li Xin, who seemed to be somewhat bookish.

"I didn't expect Boss Bai and Luo Rucai to have friendship? What a disrespect and disrespect."

Zhu Changyuan really looked at Bai Gang differently.

Who is Luo Ru?Another rebel leader who was as famous as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Most people don’t know him, and think that his reputation is relatively low, but it is not the case. Later, this guy led his followers to surrender to Li Zicheng and assisted him wholeheartedly. But before that, He did two things that are quite admirable.

First, when Li Zicheng was in despair, he defected to Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong almost killed him. It was Luo Rucai who intervened to save Li Zicheng's life. , Luo Rucai secretly rescued Zhang Xianzhong and presented him with five hundred war horses.

To put it bluntly, Luo Ru is such a person: the overall situation is the most important thing in everything, and the interests of the peasant army are the most important.For example, later he willingly gave up his own interests and led 36 troops to join forces with Li Zicheng, claiming to be his subordinates.

This man's mind is evident.

However, Zhu Changyuan learned that Zicheng finally killed this loyal brother.

Luo Rucai can be summed up in three words: loyalty.

"The general gave me the wrong award." Bai Gang said: "Brothers used to hang out together in the green forest. Marshal Luo is known as a man of loyalty. Today's incident is actually thanks to Mr. Li. If it weren't for Mr. Li, how could we have done this? Waiting for your eyes, borrowing troops for the general?"

While talking, Bai Gang pointed to another guy in white named Li Xin.

Zhu Changyuan set his eyes on this person for the second time. While he was looking at Li Xin, Li Xin was also looking at him, and there was an indescribable meaning in their eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Zhu Changyuan paid his respects first.

Li Xin stepped forward, bowed and worshiped together, and said: "The general is broken. I am a scholar, and I don't know how to use troops. I have the audacity to ask for 1000 troops from Marshal Luo to use for the general to fight bandits. The general's virtue is moving."

Zhu Changyuan couldn't understand this sentence, secretly thinking that I am virtuous?Many people should call me immoral. When someone thinks I am virtuous, I am really a confidant!

Bai Gang dismissed Zhu Changyuan's hesitation for a moment, laughed, and said: "The general showed favor in Weiguang, Tianjin that day, not only saved the lives of more than ten thousand refugees, but also found a place for them to settle down, so Mr. Li came to Xiangyang admiringly. See you general."

"Oh..." Zhu Changyuan understood. As for living and living, has this guy ever been to Sun Moon Island?
Li Xin smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Don't be surprised, General, Xanadu, a fairyland on earth, Riyue Island is really a good place, I just visited it last month."

With a look of admiration and hope on his face, Li Xin's long hair danced with the breeze by the river, he was dressed in white, and his temperament was so elegant, he said: "I read the books of sages, saying that there is a world of great harmony, and I am very yearning for it. There is a great harmony in the world, and I come here especially for the name, and I hope the general will not be offended." (Listen to the sound of rain outside the window)
"Oh!" Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Where, I will not be offended if a friend comes from afar."

Bai Gang next to him gave Li Xin a thumbs up, and said: "Although Mr. Li is a commoner, he is a descendant of the famous Li family in Kaifeng Prefecture. Count. However, when there was a severe drought in Henan and locusts filled the sky, Mr. Li went bankrupt to help the victims, and now he has nothing. He is the most respected righteous man in Bai Gang."

"Mr. Sun also respects Mr. Li, and the elders in the family are kept alive by Mr. Li's care." Sun Hongbo bowed to Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled lightly and said, "What does the world have to do with me in a hurry?"

Zhu Changyuan listened to Li Xin's deeds, and then looked at this romantic and suave righteousness who regarded fame and fortune as dung, and for the first time he cast his eyes on an ancient man who admired him.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you're doing well!" Zhu Changyuan couldn't help being moved, and said, "It's nothing to do with my haste, haha, Mr. Li, please be respected by Mr. Zhu."

Encountering such a genuine person, Zhu Changyuan's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

Li Xin, with long sleeves fluttering, bowed to Zhu Changyuan, saying: "The world is turbulent, and the wind and clouds are endless, and the barbarians are trying to steal my Chinese artifact. A bonfire is lit between the general and the vastness, so that Xin sees the hope of peace in the world. The general will set the country in peace, and he will be trusted."

Zhu Changyuan and Li Xin looked at each other and smiled, Boss Bai also laughed and said: "Mr. Li not only regards money as dung, but also regards fame as nothing. He won the exam at the age of 16, and won two yuan in a row at a young age. It is a pity that Mr. Li The ambition is not in the court."

"Boss Bai is too much." Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "I am a commoner."

Zhu Changyuan led Li Xin to the army, talked with him, and talked with him for a whole morning, and found that this guy not only cares about money but is willing to help others, and his quick thinking is different from ordinary people, he is a rare talent.

Thinking of talents, Zhu Changyuan began to pay attention in his heart. Isn't his Riyue Island just lacking talents, if he can win over Li Xin to his subordinates little by little, hehe, it is also a good thing.

With this in mind, he talked to him intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Mr. Li, I want to lead troops to put down the bandits in Wolong Mountain. Maybe you can give me a note?"

Li Xin asked: "I don't know if the general just wants to quell the bandits on one mountain in Wolong Mountain, or the bandits in the entire Xiangyang Prefecture?"

Zhu Changyuan's heart moved, and he asked: "How to say, is there any difference?"

Li Dao said: "There is a way to quell the bandits in Wolong Mountain. There is a way to quell the bandits in Wolong Mountain. There is a way to pacify Xiangyang Mansion in order to quell the whole Xiangyang Prefecture. Naturally, they are different."

"I also ask Mr. Li to give me an answer." Zhu Changyuan put on an open-minded appearance, and secretly said: Back then, Liu Bei looked for Zhuge Liang, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked for Liu Bowen. learn.

"Don't dare!" Li Xin paused for a moment, and said, "If you just want to quell the bandits in Wolong Mountain, or siege or attack, this is the method that the general is good at. If you want to quell the bandits in the entire Xiangyang area, you need to make an example."

"How to kill one to warn others?" Zhu Changyuan asked.

Before Old Xiong asked him to pacify the bandits, he just pacified the bandits. He never thought about pacifying a mountain or the whole of Xiangyang. The appearance of Li Xin today made Zhu Changyuan deeply aware of his own shortcomings.

When you are young, you say you have no vision, and when you grow old, you say you have no ambition. You only think about the things in front of you every day, and you don't have the habit of planning for the future.

For example, although he is still planning the construction of Sun Moon Island, there is one question that he has never considered, that is, after the island is built and the system tasks are completed, what should he do by then?How did the thing he built end up?
Thinking of this, Zhu Changyuan felt more and more urgently that he lacked someone who could give advice.

"Help!" Li Xin said two words, which made Zhu Changyuan feel that there was nothing new.

Soothe?Isn't this Xiong Wencan's method?Both Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng were appeased by him, but if they play like this, something will happen sooner or later.

However, Li Xin smiled, and continued: "The bandit leader in Wolong Mountain, who is nicknamed Desperate Hades in the Jianghu, will definitely ignore the general's consolation."

Are you talking nonsense?Zhu Changyuan slandered, but when he heard Li Xin's next sentence, his attitude suddenly changed.

"The general can write a letter of surrender, which says, "Surrender is a sin, and those who resist will not be spared." And ask someone to send the letter to the desperate Hades. In this way, there will be a legitimate reason to send troops."

"If he doesn't surrender at that time, he can slaughter his stronghold, leaving no one behind." Li Xin's gentle face suddenly showed a cold look, and those who didn't know thought he had something to do with the desperate Hades.

"That's it." Li Xin continued to plan for Zhu Changyuan, "When the general attacks the next bandit stronghold, there will still be a letter of surrender. If he does not surrender, he will be slaughtered again. Unexpectedly, three times, Li Xin promises that the general will take down the entire bandit without bloodshed." Xiangyang bandits!"

Wonderful, Zhu Changyuan's heart blossomed when he heard it.

This Li Xin is indeed a talent, according to his way of doing things, if he does not surrender, he will be killed, and the bandits behind will not dare to resist.Otherwise, the bandits will be suppressed one by one on the hills, and I don't know how long it will take to suppress them.

"Just one thing, is it too much to kill all the bandits..." You must know that there are many old, weak, sick, disabled and even children in these dens of bandits.

Although Zhu Changyuan felt that Li Xin's method was excellent, but if he really slaughtered all the people in the cottage, he would not do it.

"Use extraordinary things at extraordinary times, and use extraordinary methods for extraordinary things. Li Xin promises that this method is the least costly way to wipe out all the thieves and bandits in Xiangyang Prefecture. Moreover, has the general ever thought about it!"

Li Xin lowered his voice suddenly, and said: "Once the bandits in the entire Xiangyang area are wiped out, the general will have at least [-] troops. If the world changes, the general will be able to protect his family and the country if he retreats. With Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai Waiting for these people to resist the capital; if you retreat, you can separate Huguang, Jingchu, and do the old things of Liu Biao. Moreover, if the general wants to go further..."

"Stop, stop!" Zhu Changyuan hurriedly interrupted this guy, and said: "This general is the descendant of Emperor Taizu, and the leader of the army is here to defend the country and seek thieves. There is no other meaning, Mr. Li, please don't say any more. .”

What a joke, Zhu Changyuan is not so stupid as to talk about rebellion at the first meeting.

Do Liu Biao's old affairs?Nima, it's really similar when you think about it. Liu Biao was a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later he refused to obey the imperial edict in Jingzhou, and Lao Tzu was a relative of the Ming Dynasty.

And even if I have this thought, I can't tell you that I am not right now.
