Chapter 147
"Your achievements are the result of your deeds, how can you risk your life and show off your bravery?"

"Brother, it's not worth fighting him."

Yang Xuangan nodded and his gaze fell on Qin Shubao again. If he also had such a powerful general, he naturally wouldn't have to do everything himself. It was a pity that he didn't have one.

Of course, Qin Shubao is a rare talent, but the Yang family still has powerful generals comparable to Shan Xiongxin and Luo Yi, but there are only those two.

Yang Xuangan was also puzzled. Although the Li family had risen again because of Li Jiancheng, their foundation should not be comparable to that of his family. How come they had so many heroes under their command?

On the other hand, Li Jiancheng, after taking a closer look at Qin Shubao, said, "Yang Xuangan is just a pile of dry bones in the tomb. There is really no need to take such a risk."

Qin Shubao felt relieved after hearing this. He was a little worried that Li Jiancheng would blame him for not fighting to the death, so he said gratefully: "It is my duty to fight in the battlefield. If I can't kill the enemy leader, I will be ashamed of the general."

Li Jiancheng did not say much, but gave Qin Shubao some wine and meat and asked him to go down and rest. After receiving Li Jiancheng's signal, Shan Xiongxin understood and followed him down.

After all, Qin Shubao is not completely bound to them, so he still needs to be influenced from time to time. It seems that there is no problem at present.

After returning to the tent, the two men sat down and drank three cups of wine. Qin Shubao began to tear the meat and eat it without any hesitation. Fighting in the battlefield consumes a lot of physical strength and energy all the time.

The two of them traveled all over the country together, so there wasn't much polite talk. Seeing Qin Shubao's face become rosy and shiny again, Shan Xiongxin toasted him and said, "Brother Qin, you have been very kind to us brothers."

Qin Shubao was not a fool, so he naturally understood what was meant. However, as he had served under Lai Huer Zhang Xutuo before, but was able to withdraw at any time, it was clear that he was not the kind of man who could be bribed by offering food and clothing.

He knew very well that with his courage and strength, this genius could go anywhere and be a guest of honor wherever he went.

"Of course I know, and I want to repay you, so if you summon me, I will ride with you day and night to serve you."

This was not what Shan Xiongxin wanted to hear. He was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm just afraid that you and I, brothers, will have to meet on the battlefield in the future."

Qin Shubao was surprised and said, "Why is it so! My dear, even if I am lucky enough to enjoy a high position, I should treat you with respect like today. How dare I be disrespectful..."

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

Qin Shubao was also silent for a moment and said, "Isn't my husband a loyal subject of your majesty?"

"My dear, you are indeed a loyal minister. So is Yang Xuangan? Your Majesty, we followed him in his expedition to Goguryeo, and for him, we followed Zhang Xutuo to suppress the bandits. Now, we have to help him suppress Yang Xuangan. When will this end?
I am a rough man, but I can see that the world has begun to fall into chaos. What good will it do if I pacify Yang Xuangan?
In these two months, Duke Meng Hai of Jiyin started a rebellion and became a bandit, occupying Zhouqiao with tens of thousands of people. Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang also had tens of thousands of people in the past ten months. Zhu Xie of Wujun and Guan Chong of Jinling gathered people to plunder Jiangzuo.

Shan Xiongxin shook his head: "One by one they are defeated, and one after another they emerge. If this country can still be maintained, then there must be something fishy going on."

Qin Shubao also knew that what Shan Xiongxin said was true. When they followed Zhang Xutuo to pacify the bandits, they found that they could never kill them all.

"Brother, we are much older than you, but can you tell what you think about every day?

Without waiting for Qin Shubao to answer, Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said, "I can't see through it, but from my limited knowledge, you have reached this position at the age of twenty. Unless you make further progress, you will sooner or later follow in Yang Su's footsteps.

"I don't think you'll be the kind of loyal person who is willing to die!"

Naturally, he was unwilling to accept this and wanted to rebel. Qin Shubao stuffed a large piece of meat into his mouth. Without even spitting out the bones, he chewed it up and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Nothing is greater than following the emperor. I, Shan Xiongxin, also want to pass on my title and wealth to my children and grandchildren. So if Brother Qin doesn't want to be with me, then we can only meet on the battlefield in the future!" Qin Shubao said, "Did the young master tell you about this?"

"there has never been."

"Is Brother Shan your confidant?"

"I think so, but I have rarely served under you, my Lord."

"It seems that it was not the Lord who asked Brother Shan to come and persuade me. Brother Shan, the Lord knows that you are so reckless and will definitely teach you a lesson."

"Haha, I'm not some strategist. It's not a day or two since we've been brothers together. If there's something to be accomplished, I'll naturally drag you along. There's no need to test you by acting like a little woman."

Qin Shubao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to see you at night."

Shan Xiongxin was so overjoyed that he immediately sat down beside Qin Shubao and put his arm around his shoulder: "I think Luo Yi is a really capable person."

Qin Shubao nodded: "The soldiers he brought are more elite than those in Chang'an. It can be seen that he is not only brave, but also good at training and leading soldiers."

"A person like this shouldn't be let off. We both need to get closer to him."

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Shan Xiongxin had thrown a straight punch at Qin Shubao. At this time, he was still looking at intelligence from various places, especially where the rebels had started their rebellion.

There were really too many to count. The court knew about it and reported it to the inside and outside the court. There were bandits with numbers of more than 10,000, less than 10,000, or hundreds or thousands, and there were such numbers in almost every county.

As long as a person who can respond appears within a few counties, it is easy to gather more than ten thousand people. It can be seen that the world is really on the brink of collapse.

However, these were common people, not officials and their families, and their attitude was still hesitant. Therefore, although Yang Xuangan took Luoyang, no county in the world dared to respond openly.

Even with the special help of Li Jiancheng, Yang Xuangan's power was much stronger than in history, and he even occupied Luoyang, but the situation was not as Li Mi and others had expected.

The time has not yet come. People's lives are so difficult that Li Jiancheng naturally wants to let the people recuperate as soon as possible. However, the time is not right, and a hasty uprising will still lead to defeat.

It is not difficult to make all the noble families in the world completely disappointed in Yang Guang, but it will take some time.

Li Jiancheng began to write letters. Many relationships still needed to be maintained. As long as someone was influential, no one would be let go. The so-called people's will was accumulated bit by bit.

At night, Li Jiancheng had just put down his pen and rubbed his wrist when he saw Shan Xiongxin and Qin Shubao coming. He thought the two generals were going to offer strategies to defeat the enemy, but he ended up seeing the two of them talking about a bunch of irrelevant things, and it was unclear what they were talking about.

It took Li Jiancheng a long time to understand the inner meaning. He also found out that it was Shan Xiongxin who acted on his own initiative. Just when he was about to say something to save face and appease the two generals, he heard Shan Xiongxin also attack with a straight punch.

"My dear, if Sui loses its deer, would you be willing to chase it?"
