Chapter 17 The Great Victory of Yinshan, Li Er's Private Visit
Following Kong Yingda to the side room, Li Zheng turned around and saw Li Lizhi coming with him.
Kong Yingda was not surprised and said, "I'm going to make a question next time, so you can listen."
"My master, please speak."
Kong Yingda cleared his throat and said, "Once upon a time, there was a prime minister of Qi. He was sent to Chu. At this time, Qi and Chu were about to fight, so he sent the prime minister to persuade him to make peace. When the king of Chu knew about it, he wanted to insult the envoy. Chu was strong and Qi was weak. When the King of Chu saw that he was ugly, he felt that Qi sent such an envoy to insult him."
"When the King of Chu asked: Are there no one in your Qi State?"
"The envoy of Qi State replied: There are seven or eight thousand households in Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and the houses are connected by one. Pedestrians on the street rub their shoulders against their shoulders, their toes on their heels, and their clothes are spread like dark clouds covering the sky. They sweat like heavy rain. How can they say that there is no one in Qi State?"
"When the King of Chu heard this, he was furious and drew his sword and put it on the envoy's neck to question: Then why did you send someone like you?!"
Speaking of this, Kong Yingda asked with a smile: "Li Zheng, what do you think this envoy of Qi can refute the insult of the King of Chu and prevent the King of Chu from killing himself."
After listening to it, Li Zheng recalled it and then remembered that this was not the story I heard when I was a child? I remember that before time travel, the story was written in the textbook, and it was a must-memorize classical Chinese article.
A very meaningful story, Kong Yingda took a passage from it.
Li Zheng spoke and replied, "The envoy of Qi should say: It is a rule for our Qi State to appoint ambassadors. Talented wise men sent to meet talented kings, and incompetent guys sent to meet incompetent kings."
Kong Yingda laughed out loud, "This answer is wonderful."
Can the allusions that must be read by the must-do exams and must-read are not good? Li Zheng thought to himself.
Kong Yingda said: "Since that's the case, you should also give me a question."
"Okay." Li Zheng asked Kong Yingda: "My question is very simple: what shape is the land under our feet."
"The sky is round and the place is square, of course." Kong Yingda replied immediately.
Li Zheng asked again: "Then why did the soldiers and horses walking in the distance see the flag first, and the mast first when looking at the ships in the distant sea?"
When Kong Yingda heard this question, he also fell silent. He had never thought about this question since he was a child when he was reading ancient books.
But when I think about it carefully, what Li Zheng said is not without reason. When the soldiers and horses in the distance came, they did see the flag first.
How could this happen? Is the point that I have been insisting on for decades wrong?
Or is it that the perceptions of people before the past thousands of years were also wrong?
"Old Master?" Li Zheng called out when Kong Yingda stopped talking.
Kong Yingda came back to his senses in panic, "You go back first, you won."
"Then I'll say goodbye." Li Zheng said and left.
Li Lizhi looked at Kong Yingda with some concern, and always felt that Kong Yingda was a little crazy.
Walking out of the room, Li Lizhi followed Li Zheng's footsteps and asked, "What kind of shape is it?"
"Guess." Li Zheng said with a smile.
"You...why are you like this?"
While talking, Li Lizhi saw a palace maid outside waiting for her to return to the palace.
"I'll come to find you next time." After Li Lizhi said that, she followed the palace maid back.
Li Zheng walked out of the Imperial College and saw Cheng Chumo beat several students from the Imperial College to the ground. When he approached, he saw Cheng Chumo asking them to buy Yunnan Baiyao.
Seeing that the other party was not planning to buy it, Cheng Chumo muttered: "Is it because the wound doesn't hurt enough?"
While speaking, Cheng Chumo punched him again and shouted: "Do you buy it?"
"Buy, buy, buy, let's buy." Several children nodded.
This guy Cheng Chumo is really too livestock. More than a dozen children of the same age join forces are not his opponent. They are simply carved from the same mold as Cheng Yaojin. They are too tough to provoke.
Looking at this scene, Li Zheng, who is behind the scenes, quickly slipped away.
It is better not to stay in the hardest hit areas of IQ.
Back in Jingyang, Li Zheng focused on building the village in the following days to complete the system tasks, and there was still five kilometers left to be repaired.
A war report came to Chang'an, General Li Jing won a great victory in Yinshan and captured Jie Li Khan alive!
The war report was recited in Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an were happy and proud.
Li Shimin looked at the war report excitedly for a long time, and used the order to give grace to capture Jie Li alive without any effort. Moreover, the two Khans who were granted to divide most of Jie Li's troops, Zhishili and Ashina's troops were about to enter Chang'an to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, offering 10,000 war horses and 60,000 sheep.
"Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed at the battle report and quickly summoned Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
Fang Xuanling, who heard the war report, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, even if they surrender, they cannot be careless."
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Old Fang is right. Zhidusili is not simple. Now Jie Li has taken it down. This battle of Turks has greatly damaged their vitality. They dare not fight with our Tang Dynasty. Now they surrender to rest and recuperate."
"Du Ruhui said it is right, don't take it lightly." Fang Xuanling also said.
Li Shimin also calmed down from joy. He should have listened to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words. He formed the Wei River alliance with Jie Li to rest and accumulate troops.
Now that we can counterattack and tear up the alliance, we can capture Jie Li alive. So will the power of pride come here? We really have to be careful.
Li Shimin thought about Li Zheng who wrote the order to express his grace.
This kid has been to the Imperial College once and never went to it again. Kong Yingda also met Li Zheng in the Imperial College and refused to see guests behind closed doors, saying that he wanted to prove a problem.
It is necessary to celebrate the possibility that the Turks can surrender and capture Jie Li alive. Li Shimin issued an order to lift the curfew in Chang'an tonight and hold a banquet in the palace, this time there is meat and wine.
Li Shimin looks forward to Li Jing returning from Yinshan as soon as possible, and he keeps chanting the name Li Zheng in his heart.
By the way, I have never seen what this kid looks like. It is his contribution to winning this battle in Yinshan.
On the third day after the banquet, Li Shimin put on casual clothes and took Fang Xuanling to Jingyang, and Li Junxian accompanied him to escort him.
In order not to disturb the people, Li Shimin did not use the emperor's rituals but came to Jingyang in a low-key manner.
Today, Jingyang County is also a large county with tens of thousands of people. You can see the reclaimed wasteland at a glance.
There are even wastelands that have sporadic seedlings.
"Can these wastelands really be able to grow food?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, look." Fang Xuanling pointed to the bank of Jingyang River.
There was a row of huge waterwheels turning, constantly bringing water into the ditches to water the fields.
