Li Xu was amused when he heard Liu Jian's words.

There is no such thing as calculating. I am so simple and I dare to do this, and that is, I am confident.

Others fear the court, the superiors, and the sluggishness are because their wealth and honor are in the hands of others, so they are naturally full of concerns.

But Li Xu is different. As long as he is unhappy, he can resign from his post and rebel at any time, and then press the person who makes him unhappy to the ground to rub the friction.

The dignity and status are within the range of muskets and cannons.

But these words naturally cannot be said to Liu Jian, so Xiaoxiao acted as accusation.

Being considered to be cunning is better than being honest.

Liu Jian asked Liu Quan to bring up the prayer letter sent by Lin Yi, and after reading it, he handed it to Li Xu.

Li Xu was a little surprised, but he opened it and looked.

After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Liu Jian and smiled, "Uncle Liu, Lin Yi is going to see you as the Marquis of Hanzhong. Is he trying to suppress others with his title?"

Liu Jian said: "Lin Yi is the 'Lin Family Qilin Son' personally named by the late emperor. He is extremely arrogant and arrogant. The Lin family has always been incompatible with the Song family, so naturally he will not see me as a polite person. If he comes to see me as an official, he may be suspicious of relying on others. If he asks me as a title, he can only come to the door as a title, which can not only show his dignity, but also not be too official."

Li Xu was speechless when he heard this, as for it?

I just came to meet him. I paid so much attention to it. It was so painful.

Looking at the expression on Li Xu's face, Liu Jian knew what he was thinking. He smiled and took the opportunity to persuade: "There are many subtleties in the social engagements in the court and officialdom, and the proportions in them need to be carefully understood and grasped. In the future, when your status becomes higher and higher, you will experience these subtleties. This is much more complicated than being straightforward in the army. You have to carefully understand and experience it."

Li Xu was impatient of these things and asked, "Is there anyone who can transcend these bonds? He can express his feelings directly when speaking and doing things, without having to worry about this and that?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "No one can transcend. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot say whatever he wants. Moreover, the more noble his identity is, he must be more cautious in his words and actions."

Li Xu curled his lips and said, "It's meaningless to be a emperor like this."

Listening to his complaints about the emperor, Liu Jian thrust his face for a moment, revealing a speechless expression.

Who doesn’t know that the current Qin emperor is still a child, and the great affairs of the court are in the hands of the empress dowager Song and the chief assistant Song Mu.

Liu Jian is the brother-in-law of the Song brothers, so he is naturally the Song Party.

When Li Xu complained about the emperor in front of Liu Jian, it would be equivalent to pointing at the monk and scolding the thief.

Of course, Liu Jian would not care about him, so he just reminded him not to talk nonsense in front of others in the future, so as not to cause trouble.

Li Xu knew that Liu Jian was kind, and he agreed, but he thought in his heart that if one day I became emperor, he would have to be an emperor who would say whatever he wanted.

The emperor is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires, and knows love, hate, and love. Laugh when you should laugh, and don’t endure when you should cry.

If you are angry, you should scold your mother. If you are angry, you should chop someone. If you want to chop someone, you should chop someone. Life is comfortable, but if you want to have a clear idea, you will feel comfortable in your heart.

If you have to be an emperor and look carefully at other people's colors, then what is the meaning of being an emperor? It is better to be a rich man in the countryside.

Humph, whoever makes me uncomfortable in the future will make his whole family uncomfortable.

While Li Xu was carrying out crazy psychological activities, Liu Jian asked: "What do you think about Lin Yi's visit?"

Li Xu came to his senses and smiled, "I'm here to see you Uncle Liu, what can I think."

Liu Jian said: "You said he asked me to borrow soldiers from you. Whether to borrow soldiers or not depends on yourself in the end. Since you have expected that he would come to me, you must have a constitution in your heart."

"I'm just a little curious. How did you know he would come to borrow troops? The 20,000 army should be enough to deal with the tall bearded thief army. Could it be that something happened?"

Liu Jian naturally didn't know the news that Lin Yi's vanguard general Lin Feng was ambushed and defeated near Ning County. However, before Li Xu came to see Liu Jian, he had already received a war report sent by Tan Lun.

Li Xu casually made up a reason, saying that the scout of the Township Bing camp who he sent out to patrol saw the defeated Qin cavalry with his own eyes, so he guessed that Lin Yi's vanguard underestimated the enemy and suffered a defeat, so he speculated that Lin Yi would suddenly withdraw his troops and then come to borrow troops from him.

Liu Jian was shocked when he heard this and said in surprise: "The army to suppress the rebellion has actually lost a battle? This is really unexpected."

Li Xu said: "I guess it was the Gaohuzi thief army that must have learned the news that the imperial army had set out and set up an ambush in advance. As a result, Lin Yi's people underestimated the enemy and advanced, so they were defeated. However, even if the thief army surrounded the imperial army, they could not easily defeat them, so I think there must be some reason why we don't know. And this reason may be amazing."

Li Xu was naturally clear about the matter, but he still made a serious expression of hard work and thought. Although he proposed a direction, he did not explain it in detail.

Everyone is smart and says it too clearly. Even in the name of guessing, it may arouse others' suspicion.

It’s better to click until you can tell the answer you want through someone else’s mouth, and that will become the result of everyone’s discussion.

Reasonable.

After hearing this, Liu Jian frowned and pondered for a moment, saying, "The Wei army was supported and encouraged by the Wei people behind it. The Yulin Left Guard dispatched by the court this time is also an elite among the imperial guards. Lin Yi is not a mediocre general, and his generals are not mediocre. Even if he underestimated the enemy and was ambushed, the vanguard army that could severely damage him was not easily able to do it. Therefore, the variable you mentioned is most likely that the Wei people also participated in it?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jian looked worried.

Li Xu nodded and said, "Uncle Liu's analysis is very reasonable. Apart from the Wei people sending elite soldiers to secretly participate in the war, I can't think of any more reasonable reasons. Only when the Wei army appears in Yan'an Prefecture will the proud and arrogant Lin Yi be willing to condescend to see you, the little governor of Uncle Liu, and tolerate me, the bold and lawless little county lieutenant."

Liu Jian's expression suddenly became serious when he heard this. He got up and paced back and forth on the ground, frowned and thought.

If a large-scale elite army of Wei really appeared in the hinterland of Qin, the situation in Guanzhong North that had just stabilized would fall into turmoil again.
