Chapter 286 Countermeasures

Beigong Jing smiled and said, "You seem to care about Yang Xiu?"

Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Hey, although that young lady has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with, we have fought side by side, so we have had a lifelong friendship. It's okay to care about her."

Beigong Jing said: "If she knew that you cared about her so much, she would definitely be very happy."

Li Rui knew it himself: "Happy? Goodbye, I'll thank God if she doesn't roll her eyes on me."

It seems that the lady of the aristocratic family style of Yang Xiu left a considerable psychological shadow on this guy, so he still can't forget it after seeing him for so many days.

Beigong Jing tried to say something good to her good friend: "She is not bad by nature, she is just a little domineering in doing things and just like her will..."

Li Rui said: "I know this. It's normal for a lady from a noble family to have a bit of temper."

Beigong Jing said: "It would be better if you could think like this."

Seeing that he had finished eating the burrito in a few bites, Li Rui took another piece, rolled up a green onion and handed it to him, letting him dip it in the gravy. He also opened a burrito himself, took a piece of meat to pieces, put it in, and then put it in, and started to swallow it voraciously, muttering while eating: "It's a pity that Yang Xi is not here. If she were here, she would definitely provide me with many top-quality condiments such as pepper, cumin, sauce, etc., to make this pot of meat more delicious."

Beigong Jing didn't pay much attention to what he had to eat, and he thought it would be delicious. He ate a burrito filled with gravy and talked to Li Rui about some irrelevant things. Maybe he remembered the troubles and his brows became tighter and tighter.

Li Rui naturally knew what he was upset about and persuaded: "Major General, don't worry about those major national affairs. Besides, you can't worry about it either, so why bother?"

Beigong Jing sighed: "I am worried about not only the great Jin Dynasty, but also all of us... How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest? If the great Jin Dynasty is destroyed, we will be overwhelmed by endless blood! Liu Cong is not like Liu Yuan. He has not learned any of Liu Yuan's demeanor and mind. He has learned a lot about the fierce and bloodthirsty in the bones of the Huns. If Luoyang cannot be defended, the entire Central Plains will become a ghost!"

Although Liu Yuan was a Hun, he grew up in Luoyang since childhood and was deeply influenced by Han culture. His knowledge and mind were different from ordinary people. He really thought about how to replace the Sima family as the master of this land, so whether it was governing or fighting, he showed his benevolent and open-minded side everywhere, so even the knowledgeable people among the Jin people had to admit that this Huns were more suitable for the rulers of this land than the Sima family's waste who only knew internal fighting.

Liu Yuan has always been very careful to narrow the attack, limit the war between him and the Sima family, and try to avoid affecting the civilians - although this is only his wishful thinking. When Liu Jing attacked Liyang, he drove more than 30,000 civilians into the Yellow River and drowned alive. When Liu Yuan learned about it, he was furious and said that the Sima family was guilty, so what did he do with the civilians? You committed such atrocities, it was so unwilling tolerate! He was cruel to kill Liu Jing. Later, many ministers and royal relatives of the Huns and Han Kingdom pleaded for Liu Jing. Liu Yuan did not kill him, but he also demoted Liu Jing several levels, and did not reuse Liu Jing again until he died.

Liu Cong's mind and demeanor were one order of magnitude worse than Liu Yuan. He committed atrocities on the battlefield to kill prisoners and massacre civilians and vent their anger. Liu Yuan advised him not to listen. If Luoyang City fell into Liu Cong's hands, he would probably be a terrible massacre!

What Beigong Jing didn't know was that compared with the murderers who appeared behind, Liu Cong was already pretty good. For example, Shi Le, the major shareholder of the Huns and Han Kingdom, had no difference between civilians and soldiers in his eyes. If he didn't obey him, he could only die. Even if he obeyed him, he might not be able to survive. When he was rampant in the Central Plains, there was more than once the generals of the Jin army surrendered voluntarily, but he did not accept it. He forced himself to break through the city and slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the city. As for the hell demon king who replaced him after Shi Le died, he was an absolute madman, turning the entire Central Plains into a hell on earth. Under his butcher knife, the Han people in the north were almost extinct!

When Jie Zhao was finished, the Murong Xianbei went south and the lower limit was penetrated again. Thousands of years later, when talking about Murong Xianbei, the first thing people think of was not the twin imperial gems as dazzling as the bright moon in the sky, nor the cavalry that swept across the entire North China like the cold wave of Siberia, but the terrifying "fish and sheep eat people".

These barbarians who entered the Central Plains seemed to have a phenomenon of rebirth, one by one, one by one, and one by one, one by one. Liu Yuan, who started the prelude to the Hu people entering the Central Plains, had a kindness, and the further they went on, the more merciful the Hu leaders who entered the Central Plains became, as if they were degenerating from humans to wild animals. Compared with them, Liu Cong was already very good.

Li Rui was very open-minded: "It will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge, and it is useless to be anxious, so let's see if you see it."

Beigong Jing sighed deeply.

Li Rui was about to comfort him a few more words, but Beigong Chun yelled outside: "Boy, hide in the kitchen and steal food, right? Come out and make tea for me!"

It turned out that Beigong Chun had seen the little move he took Beigong Jing into the kitchen to steal food. Maybe he thought this kid would come out at most if he went in and stole a few pieces of meat, so he didn't care much, but he didn't expect that this kid was so thick-skinned that he wouldn't come out if he pierced into the kitchen! Thinking of this guy's quite scary appetite, thinking of the pot of pork stewed and fragrant, Beigong Chun was immediately uneasy!

Li Rui had no choice but to wash his hands and go out with a broken face.

Under the big tree and beside the stone table, Beigong Chun and Sima Yue had already drunk all the tea pot. Zhuge Hui was fiddling with an ancient piano and did not mean to make tea. Although she had already figured it out, Li Rui curled his lips and muttered: "It's obvious that something can be solved by moving your hands, so he insisted on asking me to come out. It's really..." He kept muttering, and his hands were not slow. He poured out the tea leaves in the teapot in a few seconds, picked up the tea cake and broke off a small piece and threw it in, and then lifted the kettle that was constantly spraying heat outside from the stove, poured an appropriate amount of boiling water into it, and then covered the lid... A series of actions were simple and direct, with no beauty at all, which made Sima Yue frown.

A few minutes later, Li Rui estimated that the time was almost over, so he picked up the teapot and poured tea into the teacup placed on the table, pouring four cups in one breath. Seeing Beigong Jing coming out of the kitchen, he took another teacup, poured 70% full, and said to Beigong Jing: "Major General, come here and have tea!"

Beigong Jing nodded, walked over, and sat down beside Beigong Chun. He had just eaten a lot of pork steak and felt it was very greasy. He was just drinking a cup of tea to relieve the problem.

Seeing that each cup of tea was only 70% full, Sima Yue asked with interest: "Young man, why don't you fill it up? It would be a bit petty if you only 70% full."

Li Rui said: "The Grand Marshal doesn't know anything. There is a saying in my hometown that is called "Tea Man Bullets Guests!"

Sima Yue was a little surprised: "Tea full of bullying guests? Is there any such statement?"

Li Rui nodded: "Yes, according to our hometown, it means that the tea is full of money and the wine is full of toast to others. No matter how good a friend is, he can only pour 70% of the full amount when drinking tea, and the remaining three points are left for favors."

This is not his nonsense. Anyone who knows a little about tea ceremony knows that tea is 70% full. If you pour it for the customer, the other party may turn against you on the spot, and pour the cup of tea on the back of your hand, then turn it away. In addition, you cannot use the teapot spout to face the guests when drinking tea, otherwise the guests will also turn against you... The most common tea etiquette is China. The shitty tea ceremony in Japan is not called etiquette, it is just idle.

Sima Yue said: "It's a novelty and an eye-opener, and it's a real eye-opener."

He looked at Li Rui up and down, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this boy was extraordinary. He couldn't help asking: "I heard that your family is the Li family in Longxi?"

Li Rui smiled freely and casually: "It's true that it's the Li family in Longxi, but it's just that I haven't had any contact for three hundred years and I've been unfamiliar with it for a long time."

Sima Yue said: "The poor family of the Li family in Longxi has produced an amazing talent. This family will surely be revived in your hands and shine."

Li Rui said calmly: "The Grand Marshal is too proud, and I am ashamed of being a kid."

Seeing his calm appearance, Sima Yue became more and more surprised and said to Beigong Chun: "You have accepted an amazing disciple, and you will be blessed in the future!"

Beigong Chun sneered: "The future is still there? Who will still think about the future? It would be great to be able to survive the present."

Sima Yue said: "I will not be wrong in my vision. In the future, the Beigong family will definitely become a success because of him. It is so precious." After that, he turned his attention to Li Rui and said: "Young man, you have a different knowledge than ordinary people and have your own unique insights into things, so I have a question in my heart and want to ask you for advice."

Li Rui did not dare to neglect: "Prince, please speak."

Sima Yue picked up the tea and took a sip, looking at him and asked, "You said, how will the historian evaluate me in a hundred years? What will the right and wrong of my Sima family?"

As soon as this statement was said, not only Beigong Jing and Zhuge Hui, but also Beigong Chun also changed his expression. Such a question is not a joke, it is equivalent to making a young man evaluate the actions of the entire Sima family over the past decades, and this evaluation is not so easy! If you directly squirt directly, you will be punished at the least, and the three tribes of Yi; once the words you pick are spread, the entire scholar group will ridicule you to the point of being completely exhausted! Not to mention a young man who is under the age of twenty, even an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades, he dare not answer easily. Is this old man trying to destroy Li Rui?

Beigong Jing winked at Li Rui repeatedly, telling him not to answer, while Beigong Chun frowned and said, "Your Sima family's right and wrong, and I have commented on it later. What are you doing if a young man who has never seen the world?"

Sima Yue said: "I want to know what this young man said."
