Although the food and drinks had not arrived yet, Li Canglan was in high spirits. He pulled Zhang Xiaowu over and asked about the details of the assassination of Gao Tu. He also wanted to take a look at the Tartar Golden Armor. The Tartar Golden Armor was the same as the weapon of Wuhuan general.
It was kept in the warehouse. It was originally intended to be presented to Emperor Dade, but unfortunately Emperor Dade locked it up first.
Zhang Xiaowu knew the importance of the matter and should not show it to the ministers before showing it to the emperor, so as not to give people any clues, he shied away.
Li Canglan didn't think that Zhang Xiaowu was covering up for him. He also knew that he had lost his temper. When the food and drinks were delivered, he smiled and changed the subject: "There are rumors that there are countless versions of your assassination power map. I want to hear it today."
Listen to the true version. General Zhang, you can tell us while we have a drink."
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't laugh or cry. He thought that General Li was really gossip, so he asked, "General Li really wants to hear it?"
Li Canglan immediately said: "You may not know that my favorite thing to do is not to lead troops to guard the imperial city and protect the people in the imperial city. I want to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service and protect the holy Han like you."
Li Canglan had people put the food and wine on the table and sat down. The table was not big, just for two people to sit facing each other, but there were a lot of food and wine. Min Bachi's work was definitely large enough. Even when he was buying wine and food, he bought several large boxes.
The small table cannot be placed at all.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Thank you, General Li, for your warm hospitality."
Li Canglan shook his head and said: "If it was a warm reception, you wouldn't be here at all. I know you were punished by the emperor and imprisoned here, but the emperor only punished you lightly. If it was a real punishment, he would not keep you in the palace. In my opinion, in the future, Zhang
My brother is probably going to be promoted to a higher position, so I came here uninvited but I made acquaintance in advance."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "General Li surrendered at all costs. I can't help but dare to make excuses." Although he was not good at drinking, he had a good capacity for drinking. He poured himself a bowl and said with a smile: "I am very grateful to meet General Li today."
pleasure."
Li Canglan also poured wine and said with a smile: "I am also honored to meet the ghost generals who have killed countless barbarians today. I am really happy."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "It's just a coincidence. In fact, if General Li is on the front line, his achievements may not be as good as mine."
Li Canglan shook his head and said: "I have to blame myself. I wanted to be the best imperial army in the world, so I came to the White Tiger Army. I never expected that I went to Saibei without fighting a single battle. I watched helplessly as Quan Yi could not kill the enemy.
, it really makes me angry! Alas
...On the contrary, you, the Green Dragon Army, although you were defeated, you almost defeated all the dog barbarian countries in the north in this battle. In my opinion, the Green Dragon Army should not only not be punished, but should be rewarded. Come on.
Come, drink, drink.”
His words made people feel comfortable. The Qinglong Army was indeed defeated, but it was not a rout, but the defeat of the northern countries. Zhang Xiaowu raised his glass, moved in his heart, drank it in one sip and said with a smile: "General Li
I envy the soldiers of Saibei and the generals of Saibei
Why don't the soldiers envy the White Tiger Army? In the final analysis, everyone only sees the good points of others and only thinks about their own shortcomings. But if they really exchange lives, do you really think that Saibei is okay? I really don't think it's good to guard the palace.
Okay? Not necessarily, right?"
Li Canglan laughed, filled up the wine for the two of them, raised his glasses again and said, "What you said makes perfect sense. Come on, tell me how to kill Li Gaotu?"
"Speaking of the murderous Gaotu, it was also thanks to the help of people in the world." Zhang Xiaowu then rushed the Central Plains rebels to the north of the Great Wall to help defend the city and told him about his participation in the assassination of Ligaotu. He only hid the secret tunnel, but
He said that when he built the epidemic village before, he had to escape from the epidemic in order to facilitate his escape.
A tunnel was dug around the village, and it happened that Li Gaotu was so eager to survive that he chose to place the commander's tent in the epidemic village. He also said that he sneaked into Li Gaotu's camp at night, stabbed him thirty or forty times under the bed, and finally killed Li Gaotu.
When he died, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Many coincidences led to Li Gaotu's death."
"You are so brave when you are a skilled artist." Li Canglan laughed, "I thought you fought him for 300 rounds and finally killed him, but I never expected that you hid under the bed and assassinated him."
Zhang Xiaowu said with regret: "I really wanted to fight him, but it's a pity that the two armies used all kinds of methods in the battle. As long as they can kill the opponent, they don't care whether the method is appropriate. I think the simplest, most direct and effective way is used
This method eliminated the opponent and avoided the casualties of my soldiers. This is the method of victory, and I am naturally willing to use it."
Li Canglan clapped his hands and laughed: "I like to hear this sentence. By the way, war is life and death. You must not be soft-hearted, and you must not talk about any principles or methods."
The two of them talked about the military situation and the situation in Saibei. It was the first time that Zhang Xiaowu met someone who liked to talk about the world. They were almost ten years apart. Li Canglan's experience was not as rich as Zhang Xiaowu's, but Li Canglan was reading a book on war.
More, when talking about how to fight, they often quoted classics and witty remarks. The more they chatted, the happier they became, and the more they chatted, the happier they became. They were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They really hit it off.
Li Canglan is confidant to some people, but looks coldly on others, so he doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't bother to associate with those he doesn't like.
Afterwards, the two talked about battles in history. Zhang Xiaowu, as a time traveler, didn't know much about the famous battles in the history of the Holy Han Dynasty, but Li Canglan had studied civil and military knowledge since he was a child, so he talked about it with him. Li Canglan was especially fond of birch trees.
He was particularly interested in the Battle of Hehe. The Battle of Huashhu River resulted in the complete destruction of the Xuanwu Army. In the end, the Xuanwu Army did not regain its former glory.
"If I were the commander of Xuanwu and fought against the odds, how could I negotiate with the enemy?" Li Canglan said angrily, "One hundred thousand Xuanwu troops were buried alive by General Cheng."
"The Xuanwu Legion has not been rebuilt so far?"
"Speaking of it, it's not that it can't be rebuilt, but who will hand over the legion after the rebuilding." Li Canglan said, "That's because the power of the Xuanwu Army cannot be easily handed over to anyone else. If there is a competition for military power, it would be better not to build the Xuanwu Army."
Zhang Xiaowu thought thoughtfully. It turns out that the Xuanwu Army has not been rebuilt for twenty years. It is really surprising that there is such a reason. It is not that the soldiers are incompetent, but that the power is unbalanced. Even balancing power is far more important than rebuilding the army. And the Xuanwu Army
Without reconstruction, the national treasury has recovered a lot, and the current military expenditure is less than half of what it was five years ago.
"In the final analysis, money is the basis for the existence of the army." Li Canglan said helplessly.
The two drank while chatting, from noon to evening, and from evening to night. By late night, they finally drank two jars of wine, and both of them were drunk. Li Canglan's drinking capacity was extraordinary, but he did not expect that Zhang Xiaowu who he met had a stronger drinking capacity.
, In fact, in Guiwei, apart from Hu Li, who never gets drunk after a thousand drinks, Zhang Xiaowu has the strongest drinker.
