Chapter 258 The Great War in the Southeast 2

"Waiver card, will they be willing to skip the war?" Li Wan looked at Ji Qian with contempt with his eyes, as if Ji Qian standing at the door was an unsightly person, because until now he still felt that if Ji Qian hadn't brought him back to Maocheng at that time, Guan Chunge's life would have been gone, and Guan Yi would not have a chance to deal with them. However, he never thought about whether his men and horses, plus Fang Zongyi's army, would be able to withstand the double-sided attack of Lin Xun and the second uncle, which was one of the reasons why he was always inferior to Ji Qian.

"If they refuse to avoid the war, why are they still a hundred miles away now, instead of a surprise attack, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to attack Maocheng all the way, even if the soldiers are divided into four ways to break Maocheng one by one, then what is the difficulty, but they do not move, you say, what is this for?" Ji Qian is not a mud bodhisattva, if it weren't for Li Mo's lack of self, he would have gotten rid of Li Guan's rat feces a long time ago.

"Maybe they didn't dare to attack the city." Li Wan felt that what Ji Qian said was a little right, but he just couldn't let it go, so he insisted on arguing with Ji Qian unreasonably.

"Enough, do you really think that Maocheng is an iron bucket, can withstand your two or three times of trouble?" Li Tianwang looked at his nephew who was not angry, and slapped the corner of the table fiercely, this Li Guan's arrogance is all his own, he is really self-inflicted, and this retribution is really timely.

"Uncle, I'm also worried about Maocheng." Li Mo had never embarrassed Li Guan so much in public, and Li Wan was also frightened all of a sudden, and his voice was weaker.

"But the big boss, it's not a way to stay free from war." A man similar to Li Mo sat on the deputy main seat. He also agreed with Ji Qian's method, but this method can only save the emergency, not a long-term solution.

"Why don't we rush out!" Li Guan asked tentatively.

"The court is waiting for you to go out and throw yourself into the net." Ji Qian really didn't know how he could endure such a stupid teammate. It's really a response to the sentence that you're not afraid of god-like opponents, but you're afraid of pig-like teammates.

"You" Li Guan was so blocked by Ji Qian that he couldn't say anything, just stared dryly, as if he wanted to eat Ji Qian into his stomach.

"What Dingkun said is right, now that the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy will definitely attack with ten times the strength. If we leave the city without defending it, we will be besieged. Li Tianwang looked at the topographic map of the surrounding Maocheng on the sand table, and finally sighed, and said: "For today's plan, it is better to hang up and avoid war, delay for a few days, and then find another way." ”

Li Tianwang's words can be regarded as determining the policy of dealing with the enemy, and the big guy is still satisfied, of course, except for one Li Guan, but he also knows that Li Tianwang is already extremely dissatisfied with him, and if he says more at this time, it will definitely be disgusting. He had no choice but to shut up and go out with the big waves.

Li Mo was left alone in the room, and before he knew it, Li Tianwang, who would make chaos in the southeast by stomping his feet, was already old, and he was just a father of a child seeking comfort, but he understood that he had to fight this battle. And the odds of winning this battle are also the lowest in his many years of fighting, and he thinks that all he can do now is to do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

The next day, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court advanced fifty miles towards Maocheng, and Maocheng hung a war-free card on the city wall. Another day, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court moved forward again, this time at a time forty miles from Maocheng. On the third day, the imperial court came to a place thirty miles away from Maocheng silently to conduct military exercises, and the momentum was so great that Li Tianwang and them thought that they were going to war, but in the end they spent it safely, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not move forward again.

Just when the mountain bandits naively thought that a small no-fight card had worked. The sharp-eyed scouts discovered a strange thing, the people besieging Maocheng by the imperial court were decreasing little by little, and the birds and beasts at all exits of Maocheng were more noisy than before. This made the bigwigs of Maocheng pat their heads and speculate that the imperial court was preparing troops to attack Maocheng in four ways, not to mention that there were frequent carriages in and out of the imperial court in the past few days. According to the depth of the ruts, (even the mountain bandits who were twenty miles away could see clearly) it can be inferred that the trucks were full of grain, probably a month, and the grain and salary brought by the second uncle of Shangguan, the grain and grass of the imperial court were enough for them to last more than half a year. The mountain bandits who knew the news were anxious again, the imperial court was preparing to trap them to death in Maocheng, what is called a soldier without blood.

"Big boss, we said that if we don't fight, we will avoid war, that Guan Yi originally planned to trap us, no wonder he didn't do it for a long time." On this day, Li Tianwang's subordinates spontaneously gathered again to discuss the movements of the imperial court these days.

"Big boss, are we trapped by them like this?" A man of similar age to Ji Qian asked with a frown.

"Uncle, the trapped beasts are still fighting, are the brothers just standing still?" Li Wan clenched my fist, and felt aggrieved for a while, who told them to be frightened by the imperial court every once in a while, which made them all nervous.

"I know, but we can't take the initiative right now, let's wait a few more days." Li Tianwang didn't want to say these meaningless words to them at all, instead of wasting time on avoiding war or not fighting, it was better to spend more time thinking of a way out of the predicament.

Li Tianwang's unhappy face, everyone saw it, in view of Li Tianwang's majesty, they didn't say much, secretly looked at Li Tianwang, and said a few embarrassed words that they would go back to their posts to inspect first, Li Tianwang had long been tired of these people, so he readily agreed, but finally left Ji Qian alone, saying that there was something to discuss.

"This battle will be lost." When there were only two people left, Ji Qian and Li Mo, Li Tianwang didn't have to hide it, he told Ji Qian the answer to his war these days.

"I know." Ji Qian didn't know about this result, but he couldn't stop it.

"Can you do me one last favor?" Li Mo took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Ji Qian.

"Uncle Li, you say." Ji Qian respectfully gave the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is a mandarin duck pendant, half of it is with me, half is with your Aunt Li, I hope you can protect her and the child well." Li Tianwang stared at the jade pendant reluctantly, this piece of mandarin duck jade, but he worked hard to get it, and it was also the object of his love affair with his wife, which was of great significance.

"Uncle Li, you" Ji Qian is such a smart person, where can he not hear Li Motuo's lonely meaning, and he can't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.

"There has to be someone who has to pay the price for our original killing and looting, and I think I'm the most suitable." Li Mo thought of the foolish things he led his brothers to do a few years ago, but he didn't think that he would die unjustly, but his wife and child who were not born for a long time made him really reluctant.

But in addition to being a husband, Li Mo's father is also the head of a city, and in his heart there is not only a home, but also a city and a people. He also saw Ji Qian's struggling eyes, but he just smiled faintly and said: "I am going to be a bait in the front, but you are mixed with the people and take the opportunity to escape, thinking that the official is resolute and kind-hearted, not the kind of person who would rather kill by mistake than let go, and he will definitely not open the knife to the people." ”

"I" Ji Qian choked up, "I, I don't want to agree, Uncle Li, you are so kind to me, how can I push you to a dead end with my own hands." "If Li Mo hadn't saved Ji Qian that year, I'm afraid that Ji Qian would have starved to death in the wilderness, where would there be status, where would there be culture, and where would there be a chance to meet her.

"The best way to repay me is to do what I say." Li Mo watched that weak boy reach such a height with his own eyes, God knows how proud he was, Ji Qian was like his child, or even his own brother, he looked at Ji Qian with a rather comforting gaze, and did not speak for a long time.

"You're going to help me take care of our family, you know." But Li Mo finally chose to sacrifice, he rubbed Ji Gan's head lightly, and said with a smile: "I only believe in you." ”

"Uncle" Ji Qian bowed his head like when he was a child, and said intermittently: "I, I, answer, agree." ”

"It's good to say yes, just say yes." Li Mo's tears couldn't help but stay, who said that men don't flick when they have tears, who can really laugh and part, everyone is just mortals after all.

On this day, Ji Qian and Li Mo cried extremely miserably, and the crows not far away couldn't help but cry.

Compared with the gloomy clouds and mist on Li Mo's side, Chun Ge is much more normal here, Chun Ge and the official father and son are happily talking about those who have and don't, but after a while, they immediately turned back to this battle.

"Chunge, you said that we have been around for so many days, why didn't Li Mo move?" Leshan couldn't figure it out, they had so many soldiers under the city, wasn't Li Mo afraid that they would smash Huanglong directly, or did Li Mo believe that his so-called war-free card was so effective.

"No news is good news, the quieter Li Mo is, the more it means that they dare not move, isn't this the deterrent effect we want to achieve." Chun Ge was recording the facts of the war these days, because this thing was going to be secretly handed over to Su Jianyu.

"Then let's just divide into four ways and survive with them." Leshan admits that he can watch and play these days, and he is indeed a little bored.

Chunge was busy writing, and didn't have time to pay attention to Leshan, but Leshui opened his mouth to explain: "The soldiers are divided into four routes, which is to give the mountain bandits an illusion, making them feel that our people are very large, so that they dare not attack easily, so they can only stay in the city." ”

"Then why transport grain?" The second uncle of the official is not in the account today, but he was arranged by Chunge to supervise the grain. The strangest thing is that this so-called food is just Chunge's order, and the soldiers of the Four Roads exchange food, isn't this a superfluous move, in Leshan's eyes, what kind of food is not food, why bother so much.

"Two words." Chun Ge finally finished writing, he put down the pen, blew on the paper, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said:

"Psychological"
