Chapter 7 The words are not speculative
Zhang Ruo's face darkened, he stared at Li Dachui, and said word by word: "Then what is the difference between me and death?"
"Mr. Zhang , Keeping the green hills alive, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.”
“The name Zhang Ruo represents a sense of righteousness. Brother Li, I believe that if righteousness never dies, I will keep those flies and dogs in check. Being restless can inspire the people of Great Qin to dare to do what they want. Even if I want to die, I will die with dignity and dignity. Do you know why I must go to Zhenwu City to kill me? If so, the world will be able to truly see his wolfish ambitions, and it will prove that what I said before is not wrong at all."
Looking at the excited Zhang Ruo, Li Dachui disagreed. .
"Mr. Zhang, the situation outside the Pass is far from simple as you imagine. When you are in Chang'an, do you really know everything about the situation outside the Pass? I'm afraid not. Linghuye and the 100,000 garrison outside the Pass cannot simply use loyalty. Or to describe it as traitor."
"We have a hundred thousand soldiers and spend tens of millions of national funds every year, but we can't drive out the Yuan captives when we advance, and we can't retreat under the rule of peace. Millions of territories are all turned into private domains. Brother Li actually said that he was not a treacherous minister and traitor to such a person who supported his own troops and coerced the imperial court?" Zhang Ruo was furious, not caring that Li Dachui had just saved his life, and asked angrily with a blushing face.
This made Yuan Rong a little worried.
They have been wallowing in Chang'an. They are not just simple Jianghu people, they always have some inseparable relationship with the imperial court. Listen to Tingyin'er, I'm afraid Li Dachui's identity is also very complicated. If Zhang Ruo angers this person, it will be dangerous if the other person turns against him.
Based on the ability shown by the opponent now, they are really no match for them.
Fortunately, Li Dachui was not angry at all. Instead, he carefully wiped the wine glass he had thrown on the ground clean, poured another glass of wine for Zhang Ruo, and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Zhang is a pure and loyal minister. This One thing is clear to me. Linghuye has his own plans and is self-respecting. But one thing is also clear. At least this land outside the million pass belongs to Da Qin. As far as I know, there is no voice in the imperial court to give up the land outside the pass. The reason is that the land outside the pass cannot contribute any wealth to the great Qin. It has become a bottomless pit in finance. This kind of voice has become louder and louder in recent years!"
"In recent years, the court has become more and more difficult, domestic rebellions have been rising, and the Southern Chu border has become more and more fierce. Compared with the Yuanlu outside the Pass, Nan Chu is the imperial court’s biggest enemy! It’s understandable that someone in the court wants to mobilize powerful troops from outside the Pass to quell the rebellion.” Zhang Ruodao.
“In my opinion, these people should be beheaded!” Li Dachui snorted coldly: “It is the Yuanlu that is the greatest thorn in the side of the Qin Dynasty. Once they give up outside the pass, there will be no such strategic buffer place, and the Yuanlu will If we march straight in, then not only our Great Qin, but even our glorious Central Plains culture will be in danger of overthrowing. Zhang Gong, with all due respect, the fight with Southern Chu is like brothers fighting against the wall, and the Yuan captives are against us. It will lead to the destruction of the country and the destruction of the species.”
“How can it be as serious as you say with just over a million yuan soldiers?” Zhang Ruo disagreed: “Ten people and one army can only form a hundred thousand soldiers. It's just a soldier, how does it compare with Nan Chu who has millions of armors?"
Li Dachui said: "Mr. Zhang, it seems that the big guys in Chang'an think so, so what do you think? We are outside the customs now. If you stay a little longer, you will naturally understand that the situation here is many times more complicated than you imagined! ”
"People like Ling Huye are in power outside the Pass, and they are the source of the chaos outside the Pass. In my opinion, it's not that he cannot be pacified, but that he is unwilling to pacify, and he has to respect himself. I hope he really dares to kill me. In this way, the imperial court can justifiably change the generals. "
"Who?" Li Dachui asked: "Who can command the arrogant generals outside the pass?"
"Yangguan Shou? General Zhang Ruo blurted out: "Zhang knows that he is very skilled in military strategy and loyal to the country."
Li Dachui slowly shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, things outside the customs are not allowed." It's just military! It's more about checks and balances. I don't know whether Linghuye will rebel in the future, but I know for sure that if Ma Dacheng really becomes the commander-in-chief outside the customs, it will inevitably lead to chaos outside the customs. Clean it up."
After a pause, he continued: "This matter outside the customs cannot be solved with loyalty. Sometimes, this loyalty can lead to worse things!"< br>
This is too much to say without speculation. At this point, Zhang Ruo's face turned as dark as a sheet of paper, and Li Dachui also lost interest in talking.
Now he finally knows why Zhang Gong, the scholar, caused such a big disturbance in the court.
He is indeed a pure and loyal minister, or in other words, he is a capable minister in terms of wealth.
But his control over the entire situation is far from enough.
Being taken advantage of without even realizing it!
He was specially sent outside the customs by someone who was interested.
Thinking about the person who asked him to save Zhang Ruo's life no matter what, Li Dachui couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
If Zhang Ruo knew who this person was, would he be furious?
Contrary to what Zhang Ruo guessed, the person who wanted to save Zhang Ruo's life was precisely one of the focuses of Zhang Ruo's attack on the court this time.
Zhang Ruo’s friend?
Li Dachui shook his head.
Someone just wants to kill Zhang Ruo in the name of Ling Huye, thus causing another disturbance.
As for Linghuye, he really wanted to kill Zhang Ruo to test the court's bottom line towards him.
Of course, you can’t kill in Zhenwu City.
Better to die outside.
In this way, he also has something to say.
His allies in the court can also use this to start a chaotic war with his political opponents.
Benefits are naturally easier to obtain when the chaos is greater. When the government is clear and clear, it is too difficult to obtain maximum benefits, and it is often half the result with half the effort.
It is natural to seize such an opportunity now.
There are more than one wave of people offering rewards in Tai'an City.
Zhang Qingyun looked left and right. His father's face was as dark as water and he closed his eyes in silence. Li Dachui was absent-minded, holding a stick and pulling at the fire. Yuan Rong and Yuan Tong didn't understand. , sitting there in a daze, looking confused.
Wu De understood it, but he didn’t dare to speak. He sat there with his head down, his ears pricked up, and it was difficult for him to pretend to be confused like the Yuan brothers. For him.
Anyway, they have just saved their own lives, and my father is too disrespectful. If he follows what others say, will he lose another piece of meat?
Zhang Qingyun complained a little in her heart, she would have to rely on others next!
"Brother Li, that man rushed down from the air just now. He was so fierce! But Brother Li is even more powerful. I didn't even see clearly. How did you defeat him?" Zhang Qingyun broke the somewhat embarrassing silence.
When this topic was brought up, except for Zhang Ruo who was not interested and Fang Mao Mao who was seriously grilling meat, the spirits of everyone else in the temple suddenly lifted.
After all, that Aohu can fight one against two, basically on an equal footing with the Yuan brothers.
And this assassin who suddenly arrived was knocked down by Li Dachui effortlessly.
The Yuan brothers are in the seventh rank of Xuanyuan, so what rank is Li Dachui?
Everyone couldn't help but think about it.
"It's not that difficult. He thought I was a novice!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "So he didn't care about me at all. He only thought about killing Mr. Zhang with one knife. I was a sneak attack. That man It was a typical mistake in predicting the enemy, and I lost the opportunity, so I was able to catch him at once. If it was really a face-to-face confrontation, it would not be so easy."
A group of people in the temple were not worthy of it. Look of disbelief.
Li Dachui spread his hands, meaning that if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do about it.
“I heard the two uncles Yuan talk about what grade you are on along the way. Brother Li, what grade are you in?”
Seeing the other party trying hard to liven up the atmosphere, Li Dachui couldn't help but laugh: "The so-called martial arts level is actually not a real boundary. It is just a matter of more than a hundred years. It's common for low-level people to kill high-level people."
"Can a third- and fourth-level person kill a seventh- and eighth-level person?" Zhang Qingyun asked with his eyes widened. .
“This is impossible!” Li Dachui explained: “The four levels of martial arts are solid, Qi control, Xuanyuan, and Xiantian. It is not impossible to defeat the opponent by leapfrogging, but if the difference is too far, it will be like a child. If you want to compete with an adult, it’s too far off, and it’s meaningless. Of course, what I’m talking about is martial arts attainment and competition. If you include conspiracy, that’s another matter.”
"I heard that the city lord of Tai'an City is an innate master?" Yuan Rong asked: "You are not in Tai'an City, is he really so?"
"It should be! "Li Dachui said.
"It's really majestic. It's because of such a person that Linghuye doesn't dare to provoke him, and Tai'an City is prosperous today, right?" Yuan Tong was envious: "Only when a person lives like this can he be free. I think Just do whatever you want!"
"You're wrong!" Li Dachui said: "It's not that Linghuye doesn't dare to provoke the Lord of Tai'an, it's just not cost-effective."
" I heard that Ling Huye is only at level 9, so he dares to fight against an innate master?"
"Does he need to fight against an innate master? No matter how powerful the innate master is, can he compete with an army of thousands?" Li Dachui laughed. Said: "Ling Huye doesn't have to do it himself, he only needs to send out a thousand personal guards under his command. If he can surround an innate master, he can live and die."
"Can an innate master be surrounded? ”
"That's true! However, an innate master would not be stupid enough to provoke Linghuye in the midst of thousands of troops." Li Dachui said: "Besides, the Lord of Tai'an has Tai'an City to worry about, so it is even less likely to provoke Linghuye. Well, speaking of it, the two seem to have a tacit cooperative relationship."
"Are there many forces like Tai'an City outside the Pass?"
"Yes, as far as I know. Of course, there are no less than ten forces that can negotiate terms with Linghuye. Of course, these forces do not have innate masters, not even a ninth-grade master. They can gain a foothold by relying on more than just force, just like Linghuye. With an army of 100,000 people, they are spread out over a territory of a million miles, but they can’t do whatever they want. There are too many things involved.” Everyone in the temple was silent.
Previously, they thought Linghuye was the local emperor outside the pass, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
