Xi'an City.

Green ant fresh wine, red mud stove.

The two sat opposite each other and talked.

"The King of Hell of Wu did not obey the military orders and still allowed the soldiers under his command to plunder. In the battle of Yunyang Prefecture, the Zhennan Army killed more than 38,000 people, and all the treasures obtained were embezzled. I will sue him to the Grand Marshal..." Li Bobo said and frowned.

Li Bobo was thirty years old at the time. He was originally a disciple of Henan. He defected to the Tang Zhongyuan in his early years. He was close to his adviser and was called the military advisor in the rebel army.

Because he was in charge of the rebel military land reclamation affairs, he returned to Xi'an from Ningxia today. After entering the city, he heard about the matter in Yunyang and felt a little indignant.

“It’s useless.”

The man sitting opposite was named Meng Jiu, who was over 60 years old, with a white face and no beard, with some wrinkles on his face, but his skin was very delicate.

Meng Jiu seemed a little afraid of the cold, wrapped his cloak on his body and said, "The Grand Marshal will be the emperor at the end of the year, and you and I will call you 'Your Majesty'. In addition, now is not the time to punish King Wu Yan."

"Can't let him go anymore! Today is different from the past." Li Bobo said.

Meng Jiu said: "Why do you think Your Majesty wants to send you to Ningxia?"

Li Bobo understood Meng Jiu's meaning, but he was still a little embarrassed.

He pointed to the two dishes on the table and said, "This world is like a banquet. In the past, some people had delicious delicacies, wine pools and meat forests, while others could not even drink a bite of soup. We raised the table and killed people, so that hungry people could eat the dishes on the ground. But now it is different. We need to set the table again and let the chef turn on fire to cook... In short, this world needs order, which is called the 'people'. But what King Yan of Wu did is to go against the way..."

"Do you think he doesn't know these reasons?" Meng Jiu's voice was very delicate and he said slowly: "The King of Yan Wu was also afraid that His Majesty would touch him. The more he was afraid, the more he wanted to seize the military power in his hands. To make those soldiers loyal to him, he could only indulge them in rape and looting. From then on, the Zhennan Army only recognized Yan Wu. The cycle of this could not stop."

Li Bobo narrowed his eyes.

Meng Jiu understood what he meant. If you want King Yan of Wu to stop, you had to seize his military power and kill him.

Meng Jiu said: "Your Majesty is a measure, it is useless for you to complain. When it is time to kill him, Your Majesty will kill him. Now... it is not the time. King Wu Yan still has great use."

The two of them clashed with another glass of wine.

"I still feel that I'm too anxious to be the emperor at the end of the year." Li Bobo said: "After spring, we will fight eastward. This winter, we should have prepared military service and horses. It's not too late to become emperor after we take over the capital."

"It is natural to take over the capital and ascend to the top again. But now, everyone can't wait." Meng Jiu said: "It's not that Your Majesty is anxious, but being an emperor can solve many problems. Being an official... is far more cost-effective than rewarding silver, land, and women."

"I understand that after conquering Xi'an, many people's thoughts dispersed... This is also a helpless move." Li Bobo shook his head and sighed: "But this is not a long-term solution."

Meng Jiu said: "With the defense map on the front line of Xuanda, there is a severe epidemic in Shanxi, and thousands of miles of terrain will surely be smooth in the Eastern Expedition. When the capital is taken down, then go back to solve these personnel and affairs."

While talking, Li Bobo's wife Tang Xiaoshuang brought another plate of dishes.

Tang Xiaoshuang was born in the green forest and had some martial arts skills. There was nothing special about the rebel army, so she asked Meng Jiu: "Mr. Meng, since Xuanda has already obtained the defense map, why hasn't Qianqian returned yet?"

"She sent a letter and said she had gone to the capital again."

Tang Xiaoshuang's expression suddenly changed and she said, "Since she has lost her feet, why dare she go back?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Meng Jiu's face and said, "Why go? The men who used to call themselves heroes hid in the Daxing Palace to enjoy their happiness. Naturally, they had to let her, a woman, go to the enemy camp to go as dangerous as a barbarian."

If Meng Jiu didn't say this, Tang Xiaoshuang would say it.

But at this time Meng Jiu said it, Tang Xiaoshuang was speechless, and only deep worries emerged between her eyebrows.

"With Tang Bowang here, I want to be safe and unhealthy." Meng Jiu had no choice but to say lightly.

Li Bobo then grabbed his wife's hand and patted her, saying, "She has always been smart, don't worry."

After a while.

Meng Jiu said: "The previous tips from the capital city said that Zheng Yuanhua, the chief assistant of the Chu Dynasty, meant to go to the south. We can send a light cavalry to rob and kill the royal family in the north of the Yangtze River... This matter is now about to begin preparations."

After discussing this matter for a while, Meng Jiu sarcastically said: "Now this big epidemic. Needless to say, the situation in Shanxi has spread throughout Henan, and the capital of the capital is definitely not optimistic. But Zheng Yuanhua is determined to move south and ignores it. He has long regarded the north as our world."

"Zhou Zhang is a foolish monarch, and Zheng Yuanhua will not be our opponent. The only thing that is worth worrying is Qin Chengye. If he faces Guanning Iron Cavalry, the rebel army will probably have no chance of winning. Even more, if he joins forces with Jiannu..."

Li Bobo was more concerned about people's livelihood. He has been busy recruiting people to reclaim land recently, but he also knew that the epidemic situation under his control was also extremely serious, so he started to ask questions.

"I have arranged this matter well." Meng Jiu's voice seemed to have some coldness, and he said, "The Chu Dynasty is unable to cure the epidemic, but I have a way. I just said that King Wu's Yan is of great use, so it is here."

Li Bobo's eyelids twitched, and he knew what he meant, but he still asked, "Do you have a way?"

Meng Jiudao: "The Zhennan Army guards various passes and does not allow refugees to enter, and drives them eastward. Another large army kills infected people in the territory... In this way, the plague in Shaanxi has been controlled."

Li Bobo's hand stopped there, and he didn't know how to say it for a moment.

Meng Jiu's words were light and said, "Control" in one sentence. But Li Bobo knew what the scene was like when Zhennan Army killed the people.

"I know you don't like to listen to these things." Meng Jiu sighed: "But I tell you that what we do is a rebellious business, and this industry must be cruel."

After a long time, Li Bobo said: "But in this way, the people's hearts..."

"The dead cannot speak." Meng Jiu said, "Even if you have some resentment, when His Majesty kills King Yan of Wu in the future, the people will praise you."

"The people's hearts are actually something that is very easy to master." Meng Jiuxiang suddenly remembered something and said, "For example, a few days ago, I met a famous doctor. His family was an imperial doctor in the Song Dynasty. Later, the wars in the late Song Dynasty led to the family to avoid disasters and disasters. It has been passed down to this day and has been a doctor for generations. This doctor can use a blood-stinging method to cure some people."

Li Bobo's eyes lit up.

"I asked him to represent our rebel army to manage a little people every day outside Xi'an City. The number is not large, and it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the people killed by the Zhennan Army. However, this is the heart of the people." Meng Jiu said slowly: "This shows that the heart of the people can be bullied."

The light in Li Bobo's eyes disappeared and he couldn't speak.
