"Shandong, where there are heroes, get onions, get garlic, let's drink two cups of him......"

There was someone in the guest room of the Texas Gang humming a song, out of tune, but the voice was quite clear.

The ghost loach and Hua Ye who sent guests into the house liked such words very much, and they didn't think that such a strange tone was not elegant, but they felt that Hou Ye sang to their hearts, and they couldn't wait to drink him two more cups.

When they left, Wang Xiao washed his face with water, pushed open the window and blew the wind, feeling his head clearer.

A group of reckless men shouted in their ears like gongs all night, and the silence at this time made people breathe a sigh of relief.

He sat down at the window, took the map out of his bosom and continued to deduce.

With one more Li Baibo, all the tactics deduced by Wang Xiao on the sea ship had to be invalidated and all started over.

Li Baibo ...... It's quite smart, but it's a pity that it's still a little immature. Young people are new to state affairs, and they are immature......"

Under the moonlight, the young man shook his head and sighed, half-lying on the chair in an old-fashioned posture like Lu Zhengchu, closed his eyes, and said a word in his mouth.

~~

Li Baibo didn't know that some people said that he was immature.

"I'm old, I didn't feel it when I was young for two or three nights, but now I can't do it. I don't know how much my muscles have weakened, but I feel that I am too lazy to go upstairs. ”

Li Baibo's wife, Tang Xiaoshuang, was putting on a dress for him, and he sighed.

He was no more than thirty-three years old, but he had recently grown a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, and his face was covered with weather.

Tang Xiaoshuang heard his emotion, and said with some resentment: "What is old, that is, it has been working hard recently, just go back and rest for two days." ”

"I'm afraid I can't rest, Your Majesty took the capital, and now this season is the most onerous time for official affairs."

"Then you don't know how many people to bring with you when you go out of Beijing this time." Tang Xiaoshuang said: "When you are the prime minister of Zhuge and you can't do it, how can you eat less and worry about it?" ”

Although she was born in the green forest, since her husband is talented and learned, she has the heart to learn, so she can occasionally respond to two sentences like this.

Li Baibo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not as good as Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, it's incomparable." ”

That being said, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he got the analogy of his wife, like a child getting praise.

"What's more?" Tang Xiaoshuang coaxed him in his heart, and said: "Just say that Da Rui's territory is now better than Shu Han, and you will help Your Majesty to dominate the world in the future." ”

Li Baibo felt ashamed and proud, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and only remembered to turn the topic back after a while.

"It's not that I don't bring more people with me when I go to Beijing this time, but there is really no one to bring, and there are no talents in governing the country in the Darui Dynasty. When Mr. Meng returns to the capital, he may be able to get better......"

As he spoke, he held on to the brush and pondered again.

Tang Xiaoshuang didn't dare to disturb him, and sat on the side with a needle and thread to mend his clothes.

After a while, Li Baibo muttered to himself: "There should be no mistakes this time...... The ghost loach is a person who keeps his promises, and he will not go back...... Feng Zhizhi, the governor of Texas, I have corresponded with him a long time ago, and I will not repeat it if I think about it...... Why do you always feel uneasy? ”

Tang Xiaoshuang muttered in a low voice: "You are the one who grinds and grinds." ”

She thought it was funny herself, and lowered her head and smiled.

Li Baibo heard it, turned his head and said: "It's not me who grinds, Mr. Meng and His Royal Highness chased Emperor Chu to the beach of Cangzhou, and let Wang Xiao save him, if this person rushes over again, with his prestige in the Guanning Iron Cavalry, I am afraid that the combat strength of the Chu army will be doubled......"

Tang Xiaoshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, a little curious, and leaned closer and said, "Is that the one Qianqian said to Your Majesty last time?" ”

"Yes, maybe."

"What's the 'yes', you know that, right?" Tang Xiaoshuang became more and more curious.

Li Baibo groaned: "So what? The personal feelings of the children, the loyalty of the family and the country, whether this person surrenders or does not surrender to our Darui Dynasty, may not be able to be swayed by his own selfish feelings, in short, each is his master......"

At this point, he saw that Tang Xiaoshuang's eyes were getting brighter, and he secretly said that it was not good in his heart.

Sure enough, Tang Xiaoshuang got closer and asked, "Let me ask you, if I am the princess of the Chu Dynasty and you are a hero of the Rui Dynasty...... If you want you to do it for me, will you vote or not? ”

Li Baibo was silent for a moment, as if he was stunned, but he was already thinking quickly in his mind.

"Strategist." The next moment, someone called out from outside the tent.

- survived.

Li Baibo sighed in his heart, and responded seriously: "What's the matter? ”

"Jiang Juren, the counselor general of Chujinan, is here, holding your letter from the military advisor."

"Jiang Juren?" Li Baibo asked: "Did he come by himself or did he lead the troops to vote?" ”

"I only brought two guards."

"Where's the person?"

"In Wu Shuai's camp."

Li Baibo nodded, turned to Tang Xiaoshuang, and said, "Then the husband will go first." ”

~~

Along the way, Li Baibo began to think about this matter in his mind.

Jiang Juren is similar to the general generals of the Chu Dynasty, who are greedy for money and afraid of death.

But after Da Rui took the capital, Li Baibo still wrote a letter to recruit him. One is because the Jinan wall is high, and the city is not easy to attack. The second is because Shandong is really difficult to get, Wu Pei, the governor of Shandong in the Chu Dynasty, and Qian Chengyun, the political envoy of Zuobu in Shandong, are all dead friends of King Qi. Yu Xingguo, the political envoy of the right cloth, was inclined to the imperial grandson of Nanjing, and Shi Guangzhuo, the prefect of Jinan, had a vague attitude, and only Jiang Juren could be used as a breakthrough......

Li Baibo thought that this matter would need to wait for him to arrive in Jinan to persuade him to surrender in person, but he didn't expect Jiang Juren to come by himself.

After entering the camp of the Chinese army, he saw Jiang Juren kneeling on one knee in front of King Wu Yan, and sure enough, he surrendered to the Darui Dynasty.

"Wang laughed to Jinan." King Wu Yan pointed at Jiang Juren, and said to Li Baibo: "Let this general talk to you." ”

He died of his son Uncle Wu a while ago, and his mood is not very good, these days people have lost a lot of weight, and he looks even more gloomy and terrible.

Jiang Juren seemed to be a little frightened by King Wu Yan, and his speech was also slurred.

"This is Li Junshi...... Sin will look up to the name for a long time, and he will yearn for it all his life, and he will see it today, and he will be fortunate in three lives. By the way, the Sin General has already surrendered to the Darui Dynasty......"

If he surrendered alone, it would be useless to Li Baibo.

persuaded Jiang Juren to surrender, in order to take Jinan City, at least to take the Jinan garrison. It's not that Da Rui is short of a fierce general here...... What's more, Jiang Juren is obviously not very fierce.

But Li Baibo's current focus is not on this aspect, and he asked: "Has Wang laughed in Jinan?" Elaborate. ”

"Yes." Jiang Juren said: "He arrived in Jinan two days ago, and he opened the city gate outside the city in the middle of the night. I didn't want to open the city gate for him, but he made a name for himself, and the city gate school will open the door to welcome him......"

At this point, Li Baibo showed a somewhat helpless and unexpected expression.

This is the potential, after the battle of Liaodong, Wang Xiao has formed his potential. Strength is how many people agree with you, how much power you have. Now even if Wang Xiao doesn't do anything, as long as he sits in Jinan City, the fortified city will become more and more difficult to attack.

In addition, Wang Xiao rushed directly from the sea to Jinan at this speed, in order to meet Zhou Yan's group.

Li Baibo sighed in his heart - the lady also said that I was grinding, and I was clearly taking precautions.

Jiang Juren continued: "After Wang Xiao entered the city, Xu Dian, a general of the guerrilla under the command of the guilty general, immediately took refuge in him. They also searched for letters from Li Junshi and seized the military power of the criminal general......"

"I'm going to burn the letter when I'm done, idiot." It was Wu Tong who spoke, with a look of contempt.

Jiang Juren kept the letter to save his life when the Swiss army broke through the city, and he didn't dare to talk back at this time, so he had to say: "The sin general thinks that Da Rui is like a bamboo, don't worry about these ......"

"Don't talk about these little things, keep talking."

"Yes, after being robbed of military power, the criminal general was imprisoned, but fortunately the loyal soldiers in the army rescued him, and because the criminal general still had some old hopes in the Jinan army, he was able to escape......"

"I didn't let you say that." King Wu Yan patted the case and scolded: "Let you tell me how to laugh with the king." ”

"When the sin will escape from Jinan City, I saw the soldiers and civilians in the city, presumably Wang Xiao was coming to meet Qi...... The remnants of the Chu Dynasty. ”

Li Baibo asked again: "How many people are there?" ”

"When he entered the city, he only brought a few hundred people, but it is said that he brought back more than 10,000 elite people from Liaodong, and when he arrived in Jinan, most of the people were said to have gone to Qingzhou......"

King Wu Yan and Li Baibo interrogated Jiang Juren carefully, but all they got was a few words.

Wang Xiao brought back more than 10,000 elites from Liaodong?

This thing seems a little incredible, but he has also done something even more incredible like killing Huang Taiji. For such a long time, Wang Xiao's movements in Liaodong have been confusing, and there are too few clues that can be used as a basis for speculation, so it is really difficult to judge.

Jiang Juren's two guards didn't know much about the movements of Jinan City, but they only said that Wang Xiao transferred grain and grass in Jinan to provide more than 10,000 elites, and because of the lack of grain and grass, he requisitioned many people and carriages.

Li Baibo summarized and analyzed these fragments of information, and vaguely got a rough guess......

King Wu Yan also frowned and pondered, and suddenly clapped the case and shouted: "Wang Xiao wants to take Linqing!" ”

In this kind of war, in addition to soldiers and horses, grain and grass are also the top priority. Wang Xiao was still at sea a while ago, and now he hurried to Jinan, if there are really more than 10,000 elites, calculating their marching speed, then they must not have brought grain and grass.

From Wang Xiao's point of view, the next step should be to take Caocang first, and then lead the army to meet Zhou Yan.

The question is whether this year's grain in Jiangnan is in Linqing or in Dezhou?

So, after King Wu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Li Baibo's eyes, trying to see something.

Li Baibo was watched like this, and suddenly there was a dilemma.

In fact, the grain was in Dezhou, and he planned to deceive King Wu Yan to Linqing after pacifying the Chu army, and then take Dezhou Caocang himself.

But now, Li Baibo knows that Wang Xiao is coming to Texas, so ...... Should I tell King Wu Yan?

"It's not Linqing, the grain stored in Linqing Caocang is only 100,000 stones, and the key is still in Texas." Li Baibo sighed.

King Wu Yan sneered in his heart.

- Sure enough, this Li Baibo is still lying to himself.

Thinking like this, he became more and more sure that what the ghost loach said was true......
