Chapter 1664: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
Li Wuqing was very disdainful in his heart.
However, although he looked down on these Second Ancestors, he also knew that these guys would definitely be the ruling faction of Wanchun Kingdom in the future, and it was necessary to be close to each other. That Li Wanshan somehow didn't want to see him, a native, and he had to hold on to the future leader in front of him......
Li Wuqing arranged the clansmen, hurriedly walked out of the forest, trotted in front of the young general, and said with a smile: "Young General, get off the horse and rest for the time being, this is the most dangerous place in Hengshan Pass, as long as you hold here, you can't fly over the wings of the Tang army!" ”
Li Xuancheng looked up and looked around, and saw the green trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the mountains stretched, and stretched on horseback: "It's okay, this road is bumpy, and the bones all over my body are scattered, wait for me to sleep for a while, and then prepare for dinner......"
Li Wuqing's eyes on the side were straight...... Do you still want dinner?
"What about Li Wanshan's kid?"
Li Xuancheng looked up.
Li Wuqing said: "It's already lurking." ”
Li Xuancheng said unhappily: "This kid is really arrogant, don't you know that Young Master Ben is here?" I didn't even show my face, and quickly sent someone to call me, which is really getting more and more lawless! ”
His family is powerful, and there is a name of a descendant of Wanchun Kingdom, who is the leader of the Han people in Annan, but Li Wanshan has been dissatisfied with him since he was a child, the two can be said to be disgusted with each other, from childhood to adulthood, but Li Wanshan's body is as strong and powerful as a cow, and every time Li Xuancheng is beaten, when he grows up, he sees Li Wanshan and hides.
Now the situation is different, Daddy Li Zhuangzhi pulled up the banner to restore Wanchun Kingdom, he Li Xuancheng will be the prince of Wanchun Kingdom immediately, and he will be the king in the future, he Li Wanshan still dares to play tricks in front of him?
This young master's heart and mind are all about suppressing Li Wanshan's arrogance, making him bow down and admit his mistakes in front of him, regardless of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders at the moment......
Li Wuqing was helpless, but even if he felt that it was inappropriate, he also knew that his identity as an indigenous patriarch could not persuade Li Xuancheng, and these second ancestors were arrogant and unreasonable, so they had to send someone to call Li Wanshan.
Waiting for all the soldiers brought by Li Xuancheng to hide in the mountains and forests on both sides, Li Wanshan shook his arms and swayed over, squinted at Li Xuancheng, and said, "What is the young master calling me?" ”
Li Xuancheng shook his armor, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "You can't call the young master in the future, you have to call His Royal Highness the Prince, remember?" Don't be as unruly as before, otherwise the law will punish you! ”
The corners of Li Wanshan's mouth twitched, staring at Li Xuancheng's villainous face, not angry, but said lightly: "Oh, remember." ”
Li Xuancheng was very surprised by this order, he knew too well what kind of temper Li Wanshan this kid was, not to mention that the restoration of the country had not been announced at the moment, even if he really sat on the throne of the crown prince, this guy would not be convinced, how could he be so easy to talk today?
However, being able to suppress this bastard, Li Xuancheng was very happy in his heart, his posture was sufficient, and he waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and settle your subordinates, don't make mistakes, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings, and punish him severely!" ”
Li Wanshan didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Prince?
Hehe, you're thinking too much......

The continuous artillery fire was like a divine thunder falling from the nine heavens, blasting the walls of Guluo City to a thousand holes.
Pei Xingjian stood at the bow of a warship, holding a monocular in his hand, observing the situation in the city.
"It's really despicable, under the guise of recovering the country of Wanchun and benefiting all the people, but they withdrew from the city and hid in the city, and used the people as shields for them...... How can such a villain succeed? ”
Pei Xingjian's mouth was full of sarcasm and disdain.
Although this did not escape the shelling of the sailors, but it completely made the people in the city alienated, the rebel rebellion was much weaker than the imperial army, and there was no support from the people to help each other, just like a rootless duckweed, what kind of climate could it become?
Liu Renyuan stood side by side with him, observed the situation on the city, looked back at the more than ten artillery pieces that were roaring and constantly raising clouds of smoke, and said distressedly: "According to the general, as long as we land and charge up, we can wipe out these traitors, the walls of Guluo City are about to collapse, how can we stop us?" This cannon is a lot of money, and besides, this cannon barrel has a lifespan, and one cannon is too expensive......"
The power of this cannon is indeed great enough, but it is too laborious to manufacture, just refining the steel for casting the barrel requires countless complicated technologies, and the manpower, material and financial resources required are innumerable.
Erlang once said, "When the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold", which can make Erlang, who is rich in the world, say such a thing, which shows how this artillery wastes financial resources.
Of course, he simply understood the other meaning of the phrase "when the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels", although the cannon costs money, but as soon as the cannon sounds, the money will come quickly......
Pei Xingjian put down the binoculars, shook his head, and said, "If you storm Guluo City, it will inevitably cause casualties among the people. The vast majority of people in this city are Han Chinese, and the most unfortunate ones are descendants of Han Chinese, and traitors can ignore the lives of the people, but we can't do that. Besides, everything that many traitors have is under our control, so why rush it? Let these traitors survive for a few days. ”
Liu Renyuan naturally knew the overall plan, nodded when he heard the words, and said no more, but was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "There will be a plan in the end to separate the traitors from the people in the city." ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"We can write a good notice to explain the fact that the traitors used the people to cover the fact that the imperial army could not storm the mouse, and explained that we were not willing to harm the innocent people, so we had to surround the ancient luo city and persuade the traitors to open the city and surrender as soon as possible for the sake ......of the people in the city."
Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Good strategy!" ”
It's a clever way to get paid at the bottom of the kettle!
The vast majority of the people in the city are Han Chinese, and most of them are merchants, everyone crosses the sea to live here, in order to make money and make a fortune, who wants to follow the traitor to rebel with his head? Let everyone know that he is now being coerced by traitors, and the sailor can't bear to hurt the lives of innocent people, so he has a lot of worries, so who is right and who is evil, who is for selfish desires and ignores everyone's lives, and who can't bear to hurt everyone's lives and has to be helpless, isn't it clear at a glance?
When the time comes, I am afraid that if the city is not attacked by sailors, the people in the city themselves will be at odds with the traitors......
Therefore, as long as this notice is seen by the people in the city, the traitors must immediately withdraw from the city, otherwise they will fall into the hatred and anger of the people, and once the Tang army attacks the city, they will not be able to run away at that time.
Immediately, Pei Xingjian ordered people to write more than 100 notices and shoot them into the city with a strong bow.

In Guluo City, Li Zhuangzhi was entangled and hesitated, and was indecided.
Is it to stick to Guluo City?
Or should they withdraw from the city and head south, join up with the main force that is lying in ambush at Hengshan Pass, and make another plan?
There are pros and cons to both decisions, and neither is easy to make......
Guluo City is located in Songping County, the north side intersects with the city wall of Songping County, and the east, west and south sides are located in the city, which is regarded as a city in the city. Songping County is the richest city in the Annam region, and occupying it can obtain sufficient grain, grass and money, which is beneficial to future development.
But at the moment, if the Tang Army's sailors brazenly launched a fierce attack regardless of the casualties of the people in the city, would they be able to resist it?
Li Zhuangzhi has no score in his heart.
If you give up the ancient snail city path to the south, you can turn the danger into safety, and the ancestors of Wanchun Kingdom resisted the Han army for decades in this way.
But in this way, he lost the initiative, and could only be in the company of the natives in the deep mountains and old forests, and went down the mountain to do a vote, and never mentioned the great cause of restoring the country again......
This is definitely not what Li Zhuangzhi wants to see.
In a spacious lobby, Li Zhuangzhi frowned, whether to defend or retreat, and it was difficult to decide.
In just one day, a lot of gray hair has fallen out, his spirit is sluggish, and his old eyes are even more cloudy......
Outside of Li Qingshu in the hall, there was no one else, and the rumbling sound of cannons outside was clearly heard.
Li Qingshu persuaded in a low voice: "Why don't you evacuate quickly, the Tang army's artillery is too fierce, and if it continues to bombard like this, the entire city wall will collapse, even if it can encircle the people in the city, but if the Tang army attacks brazenly regardless of the casualties of the people, we can't withdraw if we want to!" ”
Li Zhuangzhi was silent.
How could he not understand this?
But he was not reconciled......
Li Qingshu persuaded again: "Whether Li Wanshan is a spy of the Tang Army or not, I don't have a clue now, what if it is really ...... Then the main force of more than 10,000 people in Hengshan Pass is the meat on the chopping board, and it may be swallowed by the Tang people anytime and anywhere! By that time, we won't even have the slightest confidence......"
Now retreat, as long as the main force of Hengshan Pass is converged, there is still the strength of a battle, if you wait until the main force of Hengshan Pass is defeated by the Tang army, then everything will be over......
Li Zhuangzhi gritted his teeth and wanted to make up his mind, but after all, he refused to give up Guluo City in vain, and the good situation was ruined.
When he was struggling, a soldier ran in from outside, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and said quickly: "Report!" The Tang army shot these notices into the city with a strong bow, and asked the commander to decide. ”
Li Zhuangzhi Huo Ran got up, took the notice over, looked at it at a glance, and suddenly shouted: "The Tang people are insidious!" ”
Li Qingshu hurriedly went up to take a look, and changed color and said, "Hurry up and withdraw the army, otherwise in a few days, we will be full of enemies!" ”
Li Zhuangzhi didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately decided: "Immediately order, all the soldiers gather, let's withdraw from Guluo City, go to Hengshan Pass, and then discuss countermeasures!" ”
There is no way, Tang Jun's hand of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" is too vicious, even if his prestige Li Zhuangzhi is high, it only makes the people in the city wait and see, and they do not approve or oppose his move to restore the country. But if he understands that he Li Zhuangzhi will take the lives of the people in the city to fight against the Tang army, who will care if he recovers the country or rebels?
He Li Zhuangzhi is a traitor who cares about people's lives!
His reputation is bad, what will he do to confront the Tang Army?
Without the support of the people of Annam, all his armies would be rootless duckweed, and even if they escaped into the mountains, they would be abandoned by the world sooner or later......
