Man Ye won a great victory, and it was rare that he captured dozens of people alive this time. Although the number of enemies killed and the number of prisoners were compared with the first and second divisions of the Liao Army, they were somewhat inferior. But in this special period, we really need a

Great victory fills the scene.

The Liao army stabilized the political situation of the Ming Empire by relying on one victory after another. The common people knew that there was a group of bastards outside the Great Wall, always thinking of entering the Ming Dynasty to grab a piece of it. Only when the Liao army was in power, the common people would not be invaded by aliens.

Killing and bullying.

For ordinary people, this is very important. Especially the people at the border, they know how sad war is. People in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs. People's lives are too hard under the iron heel of aliens. This creates a strange

Phenomenon, the closer you go to the border, the more the people love the Liao army. The more you go inland, especially Jiangnan, the so-called gathering place of culture and culture, there is always some vague hostility towards the Liao army.

Even in some provinces south of the Yangtze River, hostility is still so strong.

It is absolutely wrong to put it forward at a certain historical moment. But it seems to be right to put it forward at this time. Zhungeer's headquarters is far away in the Ili Valley, and the Gansu front line closest to the Ming Dynasty also has 6,000 soldiers.

Doli Road.

At present, the Liao army has limited cavalry. If it relies on infantry to fight the Mongols more than 6,000 kilometers away, the Ming Dynasty's existing national strength will never be able to support such a long transportation line. What's more, this is still an unsafe transportation line.

. Once cut off, the frontline troops will be short of food, clothing and ammunition. It is really hard to say how many people will be able to escape back to these six thousand miles alive.

The imperial court would not allow the Liao army to lose the battle, and the people of the Ming Dynasty would not allow the Liao army to lose the battle. The last time the news of Li Hu's injury spread like the wind. As a result, the Liao army was eaten up by a division in the northwest.

Great reduction. You want to avenge the lives and adults who died in front of the Meridian Gate!

That's why Man Ye was served like a baby this time.

On the other hand, Jiangnan, where rebellions occur frequently, is within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In the spring of next year, the train to Yangzhou will be open to traffic.

Before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down at home. For the current Ming Dynasty, this is right!

Li Xiao was waiting for Ao Canghai and Xie Youcai to settle the business deal, but the wait was not in vain because he wanted to meet someone.

There was a banquet table in the flower hall, and a separate banquet table with only four dishes seemed shabby. But Li Xiao knew that this kind of meal was not filling. The diners were all scheming and scheming against each other.

At the same time, he constantly searches for the opponent's weaknesses and exploits them for his own advantage.

There are not many people in Ming Dynasty who can have this kind of meal with Li Xiao, so there is only one guest today - Mao Wenlong.

Mr. Mao is already sixty-eight this year, counting on his fingers. Ever since he followed Li Xiao to escape from Liaoyang and occupied Pidao, this old man has been hanging out with Marshal Li for fifteen years. From then on, he was a small capital in Liaoyang Prefecture.

, the current principal of the Army Officer School can be described as a meritorious veteran.

In fact, the elders make the same mistakes as those who are not elders. The difference is that the ashes of the guys who are not elders are now completely cold. But the elders can still sit at the same table with Li Xiao to eat.

This is the difference!

"Xiao...! Marshal, I went to the hospital to see Huzi this afternoon. The doctor said everything is fine and he will wake up in a few days. I got two thousand-year-old ginseng from Liaodong to replenish Huzi's body. Huzi

He is such a good boy, he fights bravely and is not picky. You brothers, each one is more powerful than the other." People will grow old, but their personalities will never change.

When Mao Wenlong came up, he greeted him with greetings and asked for help. He seemed to have more kidney weakness than his old man.

"I thank Principal Mao on behalf of Huzi, please sit down!" Li Xiao politely asked Mao Wenlong to sit down, and raised his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man.

In fact, Li Xiao likes Mao Wenlong's hypocrisy. A single tree cannot make a forest or a ship cannot support the sea. An organization as big as the Ming Dynasty needs all kinds of people. But people should be selected and used, and their strengths must be used.

Then we need to test the vision and skill of the school leaders. Li Xiao prides himself on not having much vision. He has seen many pigs running away in recent years, so he knows what is going on.

People like Mao Wenlong, who are arrogant and arrogant, always smile and have a good temper. They are all as unreasonable as Ao Canghai, and his temper can get angry easily. Li Xiao's head will hurt to death!

A man who is as slippery as a snake oil can gesticulate anywhere for a while. Of course, a guy like him would be blind on the battlefield. No one is perfect. You can't let a person who is as slippery as a loach be as brave as Master Ao?

Mao Wenlong sat down calmly, and the little maid next to him filled two glasses of wine respectively.

"You don't need to wait here anymore, just go down!" After waving her hand, the maid immediately put down the wine bottle and walked out.

"Eat vegetables! The new sea cucumbers from Liaodong are unparalleled in taste when fried with green onions."

"When I'm drinking, I don't like to have someone waiting next to me. Sometimes, I still miss the days of Phidao. I pickled radishes all day long, ate fish until I felt like vomiting, and eating pork would satisfy my craving.

Marshal, do you still remember? Back then, when you helped the guys burn bricks and build houses, many people felt unsure and thought that Marshal, you wouldn’t be able to do it for a long time. Anyway, there was no food at home, so they just thought of being pirates with you.

.

At that time, I thought about it, Marshal, you are a person who can really do great things. I will definitely not go wrong by following you!

Sure enough, just after the brick house was built and everyone moved in, the typhoon came. The wind blew by that guy brought all the water from the sea to the sky. The turtle was so big that it fell to pieces on the playground.

The cook cooked a big pot of turtle soup and even killed the eggs. Hahaha!" Mao Wenlong raised his wine glass, not even making a toast, but facing Li Xiao with both hands.

Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank it at Mao Wenlong without saying anything. He was lamenting that such a conversation seemed to have happened in history. The person Mao Wenlong spoke to at that time was Yuan Chonghuan, and the place was Pidao, which Mao Wenlong never forgot.

The result of that meeting was that Mao Wenlong's head fell to the ground the next day. This time...!

"Yes! Back then, everyone was full of energy on Pi Dao." Li Xiao selectively forgot about those guys who he dropped and froze into human popsicles.

"It's all that bitch Wu Sangui who ruined a good leather island. If I really see him, I will teach him a lesson for him." Mao Wenlong toasted Li Xiaoyao, opened his mouth and drank it.

.

Li Xiao had no choice but to drink a drink. He had become a drinker over the years, but he still fell into the average category. He didn't know why. But except for Ao Canghai and Man Gui, no one dared to drink Li to death.

Owl drinks.

It should be no problem for a sixty-eight-year-old man to drink it!

Seeing Li Xiao and having another drink, Mao Wenlong began to recall the glorious past. Of course, no one mentioned the story of him and the maid naked in the woodshed. After all, he is in his sixties, so he still has to keep some.

face.

The dishes were not touched much, and the wine was poured out one glass after another. Mao Wenlong's face was as red as a monkey's butt. Maybe he couldn't hold down the wine, so he took a chopstick of sea cucumber and threw it into his mouth.

Finally getting a chance to speak, Li Xiao asked leisurely: "Mr. Mao, you are also in your sixties this year. The Army Officer School has many things to do. I think you should go back to the capital to retire!"

Historically, it seems that Yuan Chonghuan asked the same question.

"What's so good about Beijing? It's freezing cold in winter and hot in summer. As people get older, the most intolerable thing is the heat. If I want to say that the place is best for retirement, it's my hometown Lin'an. This person has to pay attention to the return of fallen leaves to his roots." Mao Wenlong seemed to

After drinking too much wine, he burped and said.

The fallen leaves return to their roots!

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. Where is Lin'an? It is the area hardest hit by the Donglin Party. How dare I let you go there? I'm afraid that once you reach Jiangnan, you will be supported by those crazy Donglin Party members.

Okay. The title of emperor has no status, but with the seniority of the old guy, he can always be one of the chief ministers or supervisors.

The fallen leaves will return to their roots! I’m afraid the leaves will fall and their roots will be cut off!

Li Xiao's eyes seemed to have a flash of light.

"The capital is also as good as the capital. Look at the scenery on both sides of the Chaobai River. In summer, the cool air is close to the water, so it's not hot! As for winter, how cold is it to go to Liaodong? You can even bear the cold in Liaodong.

Come here, are you afraid of the cold?" When Li Xiao spoke, the image of Mao Wenlong and the bare-butt maid hugging each other immediately appeared in his mind.

I don’t know what happened to that woman, as I have never heard from her.

"Besides! I won't come from the capital, no matter how much money I give you." Mao Wenlong said drunkenly.

Li Xiao felt cold, his last chance had been missed. He couldn't blame himself for what happened next.

"But Tianjin is still pretty good!" Mao Wenlong muttered and added.

"What did you say?" Li Xiao suddenly became energetic and patted Mao Wenlong on the shoulder.

"I say Tianjin is pretty good! The Jiuhe River has 18 bends at the bottom, connecting the Haihe River and the Bohai Bay. If you want to eat seafood, you can also eat river delicacies. If you want to eat big pig knuckles, the worst case scenario is to have someone buy them back from Liaodong.

I say handsome! You don’t know that that bastard Wang Tong has become fat in recent years. Liaodong built fifteen pig pens for two thousand pigs. I went to see it and the old sow weighed two hundred kilograms.

.You are surrounded by pigs that are sucking milk. When you come back from Liaodong, you will have to give me two pigs.

The older this person gets, the more he likes to scratch his mouth. In the past few years, if his body and bones hadn't been well-trained when he was young, he would have been unable to withstand it long ago. Here, two teeth are gone.

, these are all newly installed.

One night, I only had two hours of sleep. If I went to bed early, I would wake up early. If I went to bed late, I would wake up early. Looking at the sky every day, what a feeling...! Standing at thirty, without confusion at forty,

At fifty, one knows destiny, and at sixty, one's ears are smooth. I have already passed the year when my ears are smooth, and seventy years is rare in human life. I have everything I need, satisfied! Satisfied!" Mao Wenlong shook his head, looking like he had gone through many changes.

Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank a drink to calm down his joyful mood. Finally, he no longer had to kill the old guy who started a business with him. Politics is ruthless, but people still have feelings. When such a person opposite raised a butcher's knife, Li Xiao didn't.

Zhu Yuanzhang has a heart of stone.

Mao Wenlong also drank a toast: "Some time ago, I said that bastard Chen Jisheng was causing trouble in the capital, but now it's over. He's dead for a hundred years, and I will take the blame with him when I get older.

Now I'm thinking about it, damn it, I quit this job. I go to Tianjin to buy a piece of land and build a big house. The wealth I have accumulated over the years is enough for me to have enough food and clothing. With you kindhearted people here,

, don’t worry about your children and grandchildren not being able to take care of you. There is nothing to worry about, there is nothing.”

"Mr. Mao, what do you mean...!" Li Xiao suppressed the joy in his heart and asked with some confusion.

"Commander, I want to say hello to you. Tomorrow I will give you a discount and request that I be relieved of all official positions and return to my hometown to work in farming." Mao Wenlong arched his hand towards Li Xiao.

"In the final analysis, you have worked hard for the country and the country for so many years. Even if you don't have any credit, you still have hard work. What's more, Mr. Mao, you actually have a lot of credit. Tianjin Wei's house was bought by the government with money from the land. You can follow the instructions at will.

You don't have to worry about your ideas for decoration, the court will cover all the expenses." Li Xiao was very excited. He had already had a Hongmen Banquet, but ended up drinking a glass of wine to release his military power!

A lot of land in Tianjin is vacant. Even if you find a few houses in the city and buy it, it won't cost much. Living in Tianjin is very comfortable, and you can eat seafood and river fresh food. Of course, it is close to Beijing, which is convenient for Li Yongfang

Supervision has also played a role in fueling the flames.

"Really? That's a lot of silver dollars." Mao Wenlong stared at Li Xiao in disbelief.

"You are always a hero, so I have to give you this treatment no matter what. Spending this money on people like you is far better than spending it on those actors and other actors." Li Xiao was a little excited, and he worked hard for more than ten years.

Year. To build a house, it is appropriate to allocate a piece of land.

"The commander-in-chief is right. I am waiting for your arrangements at Tianjin Wei, commander-in-chief." Li Xiao responded to Mao Wenlong with an overturned hand, which also greatly increased Mao Wenlong's confidence. The eyes he looked at Li Xiao became more and more eager.

"Everything will satisfy you, Mr. Mao." With such a result, Li Xiao was still very happy. Objectively speaking, Mao Wenlong actually didn't want much. In future generations, if a high-ranking official retires, his salary will be far better than that of Mao Wenlong.

Gao. At least they have a special car!

"Come! Let's have another drink. I drank it very happily today. I say, handsome, don't forget my piggy."

"I can't forget it! If you talk to Mr. Sun about this kind of thing, I believe it will still give you face. Even if you are a little poor in academics, it is not a big deal to give a job to an idle person for a living. You have worked hard for more than ten years and have contributed to Liaoning.

The army has trained tens of thousands of officers, so it is appropriate for future generations to suffer some hardship."

"Where are you talking? I'm talking about the piglets from Liaodong. You have to ask Wang Tong for some good ones. I like roasted suckling pig best."
