Chapter 1191: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Eighty-One) Intention

Staring at Zhao Xilie in front of him, Li Mingjun did not flinch or dodge, but looked him in the eyes and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I'm not kidding, I really surrender."

Looking at the dumbfounded Zhao Xilie, Li Mingjun said: "This time I did go to fight Huining, because I was so poor that the soldiers couldn't survive. Can you understand that in this season, my soldiers are still wearing single clothes?" ? Not to mention having a full meal, it’s good to be able to hang on to my life. I can only take the risk to fight this battle. I gathered most of the army’s food to give the soldiers a full meal. "

Speaking of this, Li Mingjun's eyes were filled with tears, "The soldiers heard that they were going out to grab food and clothes, and they all screamed with excitement. They just wore single clothes and carried weapons and embarked on the journey. Xi Lie, can you imagine that scene?"

"This, this is just a temporary difficulty." Zhao Xilie argued forcefully.

"Really, is it just a temporary difficulty? Xi Lie, we can deceive the soldiers like this, but do you also tell me in these words?" Li Mingjun looked at the other party sarcastically.

Zhao Xilie was speechless.

"We went well at first and robbed seven or eight villages. I set up an ambush halfway, defeated the army in Changqiaoji, and marched straight into Changqiaoji and robbed a military supplies warehouse there. But my life was very bad, Xilie. This is probably our fate." Li Mingjun looked at Zhao Xilie with a wry smile: "I never expected that Xu Yuanchu suddenly appeared in Huining, and he secretly brought Guli's Hun independent cavalry division, and I was blocked by them. , a bloody battle in Xiazigou, the last of my elite troops were wiped out, and even I was captured alive by them. With no soldiers, no food, no clothes and quilts, how could my troops survive? I watched them helplessly. Frozen to death, or the mutiny dispersed?"

"I know very well that if I don't go back, the tens of thousands of troops in Shanggu will disperse within a few days. They may run back to Jinyang, but more people will flee and become bandits. The people of Shanggu will . They will suffer greater losses, they will be in dire straits, and they will be defeated more violently than the bandits, you also know this."

"So, you surrender." Zhao Xilie said.

"Xu Yuan had a long talk with me. I think what he said makes sense. Xilie, our Zhao country is finished. Can we still count on the Qin people? They themselves are dying. Now they are lying on our backs. There is a blood-sucking worm in our bodies, and they will not stop until they drain every last drop of blood from our bodies.”

"We can only rely on them now and surrender to the Han State. We, Zhao, have no way out." Zhao Xilie looked at Li Mingjun and said loudly: "Mingjun, the Han State wants to unify the world, and they will never allow us to recover. "

Li Mingjun sat down slowly, "Restore the country? Is it still possible? Mr. Zhao has been dreaming about this dream.

But I didn't dare to do it for a long time. I was stationed in the upper valley. Across from Daijun, it was once the territory of our Great Zhao, but do you know what life was like for them there? Hillet. This time I robbed several villages on the border, and I was extremely surprised by the wealth of the people. It can be imagined that other places will only be worse. We all thought that the puppet dynasty under the control of Zhou Changshou was The people under our rule will definitely rise up in resistance and respond to us. But the result? Is it just because the king is their puppet? No, no, the policies implemented by Zhou Changshou were completely a replica of the Han State, but they achieved great achievements in one year. At least the people were well fed and clothed warmly. The Han State was not as good as the Qin State. The country exploits us for no reason, but instead continues to donate blood to them and strongly supports them. It’s not like we don’t know, but when we talk about it, we will naturally know in our hearts that the situation on our side will not be clear to the east. In this case, why should they respond to us? , who would let go of the good life but live like we are now, with no clothes on our bodies and no food on our stomachs? "

"Are there no loyal and righteous people in the world?" Zhao Xilie roared angrily.

"Loyal and righteous men are about to starve to death." Li Mingjun said coldly.

"You!" With a choked voice, Zhao Xilie pulled out the saber from the big case and put it on Li Mingjun's neck. "I'll kill you, the traitor."

Li Mingjun neither moved nor parried, "Since I'm here, I'm naturally prepared to be chopped by you."

"You..." The muscles on Zhao Xilie's face twitched, and he glared at Li Mingjun for a long time. Suddenly, he threw the knife aside with a clang, "Since you have surrendered, why are you here here? Are you really afraid that I will kill you?"

"Xi Lie, I owe you." Li Mingjun said slowly: "At the foot of Xiling City in Dai County, Mr. Zhao gave up on all of us. He only notified you to run away, but you took the risk and notified me. I also took him away, otherwise I might have become a prisoner of the Han army. "

"Perhaps you are now regretting that you did not become their prisoner." Zhao Xilie said painfully.

Li Mingjun laughed, "Who can say for sure what happened in the past? What I am grateful for is the brotherly love you showed me. Back then you didn't abandon me in such a critical state. Now I naturally don't I can’t leave you, no matter what you think of me, I must come to see you.”

"You can lead the entire Shanggu County and tens of thousands of troops in Shanggu County to surrender to the Han Kingdom. This is already a great achievement. Are you still not satisfied and want to achieve greater achievements?" Zhao Xilie looked at Li Mingjun sarcastically, "Persuade me to surrender and use the lives of our Zhao family father and son as the basis for your rise to the top?"

"Do you think of me like this?" Li Mingjun's face turned red. "If I were such a person, would I still be here? I have tens of thousands of troops from Shanggu County and other places, which is enough for me to preserve my glory and wealth. Didn't I come to you to save you? Xilie, are you really waiting for death? Do you know why Xu Yuan appears in Huining for no reason? He is planning to attack us, Guli's Hun cavalry. The division is just the vanguard. Behind her, there are Agu Huaien's Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, Gongsun Yi's former Northern Field Army Cavalry Division, and the former Southern Field Army Cavalry Division with infantry. The cavalry alone is as many as Tens of thousands.”

Zhao Xilie suddenly raised his head, "Are they preparing for a large-scale attack?"

"Xi Lie, think about it carefully. If they come, what can we do to stop them? Can we count on your subordinates now, or can we count on the Qin people to save us? It's impossible. The Qin people want us to fight with the Han people. The field is used to consume the strength of the Han people!" Li Mingjun said. "The disaster is imminent. Do you think that everyone in the Jinyang court will hang on this tree? How many of them are secretly communicating with the Han people? Even in the Qin court, There are also many high-ranking officials who secretly have affairs with the Han people, trying to create a way out for themselves! "

"We, father and son, can't do it. We have no way out, Mingjun, I understand what you said is true, but so what? You can surrender, we can't, you go, take your Shanggu garrison, take Shanggu Go and join the Han people and go for your bright future. I just hope that the two of us will not face each other on the battlefield in the future." Zhao Xilie sat down with his head in his hands and said in pain.

"What's the difference between you two?" Li Mingjun said coldly: "Xi Lie, don't think too highly of yourself. Think about who is living in the Han Kingdom today. Where is King Qi, where is Tian Dan, and where is Zhou Yuan? Where, do you think your status is higher than theirs? Let alone you, even Mr. Zhao cannot compare with them. When it comes to hatred with the Han State, can Mr. Zhao be comparable to you? Tian Dan caused losses to the Han Kingdom, but now Tian Dan and his son are living well in the Han Kingdom and living a leisurely life. They can do it, why can't you? "

"That is house arrest in disguise. Even if I, Zhao Xilie, am no longer a talented person, I will never want to live like this." Zhao Xilie shouted.

"So, I came to find you." Li Mingjun put his hands on Zhao Xilie's shoulders: "Xilie, the two of us have been playing together since we were young. Naturally, there is no need to say more about our brotherly love. You didn't abandon me back then, and I don't abandon me now either. I will leave you behind. I understand your temperament and know that you will never suffer and be lonely, so I proposed a plan to Xu Yuan. Now their king has agreed to this plan. As long as you agree, we can Once the plan is officially launched, you will be able to make a great contribution. At that time, are you afraid that you will not be reused? At least, you will not be like Tian Yuanyuan, who can only go to the bank of Dayan Lake to become a rich man! "

"You, what plan did you propose?" Zhao Xilie raised his head.

"The biggest enemy of the Han people is the Qin people. At least that's how they see it now. My plan is not only to bring the entire Western Zhao to the Han Kingdom, but also to severely trap the Qin people. If I can win Hangu Pass, or capture Lu Chao, or severely damage the main force of the Qin people at Hangu Pass, we will have made a great contribution. By then, not to mention you, even Mr. Zhao, maybe we can be in the Han Dynasty I have a place in the imperial court," Li Mingjun said excitedly.

"Trick the Qin people?" Zhao Xilie looked at Li Mingjun.

"Of course, if we are determined to surrender to the Han people, then the Qin people will naturally be our enemies. Xilie, think about that list. Do the Qin people regard us as their allies? In their eyes, we are just a capable enemy. We are just milking cows. We live without dignity and dignity. Even if you don’t think about yourself, think about your son Zhao Zhuo. Do you want your son to live in the mud in the future? Growing up in a middle age, working hard for three meals a day, can you understand the hardship of becoming a commoner? You won't know, but you can know it clearly if you ask any of your soldiers. "

Hearing Li Mingjun mention his son, the last embankment in Zhao Xilie's heart suddenly collapsed. (To be continued.)
