Liao Kai's sigh immediately caught Liren's attention, and he immediately smiled: "Hehe! It's nothing, Hou Ye is too worried. ”

Li Ren is a person who practices martial arts, and the master is also a person who cultivates the Tao, and he has long practiced strange martial arts. The slightest flight of mosquitoes during the day can make Liren aware of it, not to mention that he has no martial arts, Liao Kai said in a low voice. Li Ren didn't break it, looked at the wine and food brought by the guards on the table, lifted a pot of wine and poured it for Liao Kai, and said, "Mr. Liao, please use it." ”

Liao Kai was extremely depressed in his heart, and when he saw that the wine was full, he immediately drank it all. Li Ren was holding the cup, watching Liao Kai drink the wine in the cup without speaking, and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Liao still dares to say that there is nothing wrong?" As he spoke, Liren quickly stretched out the chopsticks in his hand into the air, then put them on the table and looked at the corpse of the fly that appeared on the chopsticks and said, "Alas! There are too many flies here. ”

Liao Kai didn't know what Chaozhou Hou meant at first, but now after seeing the fly corpse that shouldn't have appeared, he immediately understood that what he whispered did not hide from Chaozhou Hou's ears. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up and bowed his hand to Liren: "Alas! Liao really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and Hou Ye is really good. ”

"Huh! Mr. Liao, please sit down, you don't have to worry about some carving insect skills, Mr. Liao has something to say. Li Ren motioned to the guard next to him to take the new chopsticks, and said to Liao Kai with a smile.

Liao Kai sat on the chair with a wry smile and took another sip of wine, and then said to Liren: "Master Hou Mingjian, what Liao said has poured out what I think in my heart, but I forgive Liao for not being able to serve the second master." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to drink the stuffy wine.

Li Ren looked at Liao Kai's distress, smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Liao doesn't have to be extremely depressed for this, the so-called inability to serve the two masters refers to what Mr. and others did when they met the master." But the gentleman asked himself if he met Li Xiaozhi, can he be regarded as a master? ”

"But~~! But~, Marshal Li has the grace of knowing me, isn't that counted? Liao Kai was a little embarrassed intermittently.

"The so-called master, I think Mr. must know better than me, so I won't discuss it deeply. Traitors like this have existed since ancient times, and Mr. knows what happened to them. If Mr. insists on going his own way, in the end, he will only have to accompany Li Xiaozhi to the funeral. Speaking of which, Liren no longer poured him wine in person, but silently observed Liao Kai's every move.

Liao Kai is not thinking about Generalissimo Li who originally had the grace of knowing him now, but constantly thinking about why this Chaozhou Marquis wants to do this to himself, it is not easy to see a few strategists around him these days, but why do you still recruit yourself?

Then, without him asking, Rihito broke the silence and said, "Sir may be asking, why am I soliciting you." Hehe, don't worry about this, sir. I'll tell you the truth, the reason is simple, I don't have enough counselors around me. ”

The simple answer to the complicated question suddenly made Liao Kai unable to find the north, and immediately asked: "Master Hou, this matter is so simple?" ”

"Huh! Why should people think that things are very complicated, a lack of manpower is a lack of manpower, so what is there to hide. Do you want me to do it alone for the strategies you have planned and the needs of internal affairs? I now have only three counsellors, and they are all of my great use, but men only have one hand, one mouth, and one head. They all have important things to do, so they can't just strategize for me, right? Rihito shrugged his shoulders and said what was on his mind as if jokingly.

"Where, Liao still wants to ask, why does Master Hou fall in love with Liao?" Liao Kai was very curious and asked.

Rihito suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret, this is a secret. You can't say it now, and if you say it, it won't work. But I would like to ask sir, do you agree? ”

When Liao Kai heard Liren's answer, he was immediately thundered, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. When Liren asked him if he was willing, he closed his mouth and said in amazement: "Please allow the villain to think about it for a little more time." ”

After laughing, Rihito stood up and strode to the door, turned around and said, "Okay! I'll just wait for my husband's answer, one day can't do two days, one month can't do two months, I have to wait until my husband agrees. Speaking of this, Li Ren turned his head and instructed the guards in charge of the torture room: "Be sure to arrange Mr. Liao's food, and do everything to the best." Hehe, if the gentleman wants a woman, he must arrange the best and most beautiful for him. ”

Liao Kai heard what Liren said to the guards in the back, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said in the back: "Master Hou, forget about women, I have a bad wife at home, and I don't want to find someone else." ”

Liren turned around again, smiled mysteriously at him and said, "Don't worry, sir, you know this matter, don't use it up, no one will trouble Mr. Zhao, Mr. rest assured." Hehe, you and I are both men, I understand ~~, long live understanding, hehe. Speaking of which, without waiting for Liao Kai to say anything more, Li Ren turned his head and led the guards out of the door of the torture room.

Liao Kai waited for Liren to leave and was stunned for a long time, and finally had to shake his head and say to himself: "This Hou Ye is really different from ordinary people. ”

After a few days, the officers and soldiers directly searched for the surrounding peasants and craftsmen, and nearly 100,000 people were used by Generalissimo Li to transport materials and make equipment.

But within three days, more than a dozen corpses were hung at the door of the official and military labor camp to warn these workers not to make trouble.

However, in this way, the manufacture of equipment by the officers and soldiers was not very smooth, and either the half-finished siege equipment was burned in the middle of the night, or the fire in the grain and grass camp was extinguished in the middle of the night. Three days later, with Generalissimo Li personally sending 30,000 men to hold on, a lot of arrow blocking cars and ladders were built, as well as two crash cars used to hit the city gates.

However, these items simply cannot meet the needs of the entire 200,000 troops, and can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Generalissimo Li, who was unable to do so, suddenly became furious and tried to find the saboteurs in the labor camp. Another day, thousands of people with weapons of destruction (woodcutters, fire sickles, etc.) were found, and a river of blood flowed in a burst of slashing and killing. It wasn't until the bodies of the 1,000 people were erected high at the door of the old barracks that the accident that occurred in the middle of the night stopped the car.

The labor army is full of local farmers and craftsmen who were brought in at zero hour, and they all want to avenge them when they see their very close friends and relatives being cut off and hung at the camp gate. But many of them persuaded them to wait for the right time, which made their anger buried deep in their hearts.

Ten days later, a high earthen platform not far from the City of Hope was piled up by the laborers, and Generalissimo Li came to the earthen platform to look at the City of Hope from afar, but it was still not as high as the city wall of the City of Hope. He risked his fire and ordered the sergeants to whip the laborers with leather whips to speed up the progress, so that the mound of earth increased in the middle of the day.

Finally, the height of the mound was slightly higher than the city wall, and Generalissimo Li saw the Suzaku army on the city wall as he wished, and to his great surprise, the city wall was very wide, and it was estimated that at least four carriages could be placed side by side. I heard from a strategist in his army who knew how to build a civil engineering and architecture that if the current city wall reached such a level, it would take hundreds of thousands of people to build it with hard stones for five or even ten years without interruption to reach the strength and height of the city.

He saw everything on the walls of the City of Hope, and Rihito saw him as well. Liren, who was holding the binoculars, jokingly said: "Hehe, you see that this is the eagle dog famous in the capital, Shi Miyuan, Li Xiaozhi." Unexpectedly, I thought he was a stout man, hehe, it's better to be famous than to meet, but he is a white little white face. I really don't know how he takes care of it. ”

When the subordinates heard Liren's explanation, they rushed to grab the other three binoculars and looked at Generalissimo Li's body one after another. In the end, many compared the skin on their bodies with Generalissimo Li, and as a result, Generalissimo Li was rated as the whitest little white face in the Great Song Dynasty. Hehe, I really don't know what will happen to Generalissimo Li knowing about this result.

Finally, the officers and soldiers got their wish and built the heavy siege equipment they needed, and suddenly every side of the City of Hope was faced with thousands of ladders and hundreds of building cars. Li Ren saw that the officials and soldiers were already desperate, and he was unequivocal. Immediately ordered everyone to mobilize and bring out all the advanced weapons in stock.

Generalissimo Li watched carefully on the mound of earth, and suddenly realized that the Suzaku Army was busy with disaster relief. From time to time, they carried large black log-shaped things up the city wall, with the low end facing the city and the high end facing the outside of the city. It seems that there are still two wheels in this thing, and the Suzaku Army is pulling them up from the city wall one by one in a carriage. In the course of a day, hundreds of unknown objects appeared on each wall of the Suzaku Army.

And with the advent of this thing, there is also a kind of one-person high, countless cylindrical rows arranged in three stacks. The appearance is a bit similar to what I just saw, but it is not the same material.

Not seeing it does not mean that Generalissimo Li is very relieved, on the contrary, he is very nervous. Because of the appearance of these two things, he felt uncomfortable, as if a tiger could eat itself at any time in the siege of everyone.

He immediately called all the people and asked what it was that the Suzaku Army had moved to the city wall. To his disappointment, however, no one knew what was on the walls.

The bow has to be sent on the string, and now all the generals are only in the central city of the anti-thief at this time, there must be a lot of treasures and beauties in it, and now they are waiting to enjoy themselves in the city of hope. Generalissimo Li is worried, and it is not easy to discourage everyone's enthusiasm now. Besides, those things have not been seen in previous wars to everyone, and they do not know what they do. Just as these ignorant people were fearless, they shouted that they would be the first to rush to the walls of the thief army.

The siege of the official army is about to start again, and Generalissimo Li knows that the second attack at this time, if it doesn't work again, there is no way for Zhuge Wuhou to be alive. Standing on the high earthen platform, Generalissimo Li shook off the sense of crisis in his heart, and confidently waved the red order flag in his hand.

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers on three sides listened to the orders of the tall generals and shouted the trumpets in their mouths. The phalanx propelled tall building cars and low arrow blocking cars, carrying up the dust all over the ground and fearlessly advancing towards the City of Hope.
