Chapter 396: A Match Made in Heaven
The army led by Lu Li can be said to be overwhelming, and everywhere they passed, they almost never encountered much resistance, and every common person warmly welcomed them, which made An Xiabai feel very strange, and he ran outside for a walk, but when he came back, he was holding a small picture album in his hand.
Ruqing looked strange, so she stepped forward and asked, "Xia Bai, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
"The album," An Xiabai coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, and then explained, "I bought it from the people outside." ”
In fact, to be more precise, this album was given to her by the old man of the post station, and it painted a small story about her and Lu Li's general harmony, and the old man also said with a smile that this album has almost spread all over the country, and An Xiabai held the album and couldn't help but blush.
Ruqing grabbed it and took a look, and also laughed: "It's a match made in heaven, they praise it so much." ”
Aren't Lu Li and An Xia Bai a match made in heaven? There is no husband and wife in the world who are more compatible than the two of them, just like a sharp sword, one is responsible for battle, the other is responsible for logistics, and the army outside is no match for them.
An Xiabai's face was slightly red, and she came over for a while before relieving.
"Compared with the words circulating outside, I am more moved by the suffering experienced by the people."
She couldn't help but think of the various scenes she had seen when she went outside, the war really pulled the lives of the people into the quagmire, many people did not have enough to eat, and there was no place to sleep, they walked the streets all day long, their faces were yellow and thin, and they were very pitiful, and even in some places, because there was really no food to eat, and there was no government relief, they ate grass roots, tree bark, and even more excessively, and even began to eat their children, when An Xiabai walked by them, he only felt that his heart was like a knife cut.
"How can I be so virtuous that I can be praised by them here?"
Ruqing knew that she had always been soft-hearted, so she stepped forward and patted her shoulder lightly and said, "There is still a long way to go, how do you know that you can't do it?" ”
"I-"
"Okay, don't be modest, since the people are willing to believe in you and Lu Li, then you should fight for the people's peace and contentment.
An Xia Bai smiled and nodded.
Yes, the people trust her, and she should work hard for the future of the people, although she can't afford the stable life they want now, but she may not be able to afford it in the future.
In the future, she will definitely live up to the trust of the people.
They fought all the way from Nanhuai City, and the army had grown to a sufficient number, and in the evening, Lu Li convened a meeting of all the generals in the barracks on the matter of the next goal.
"What should be the next step, have you figured it out?" Lu Li asked with a serious expression.
There was silence in the camp for a moment, and finally a young general stood up: "General, we haven't lost all the way, but the army under King Li, as well as the army of the Liang State, have been defeated repeatedly, which shows that they don't have any combat effectiveness at all, I think we have the next step, it's better to send it to attack the capital directly!" They don't have any troops on the left and right now, and it is estimated that the defense of the capital is not very strong. ”
Lu Li's eyes lit up, he originally had this plan.
The people in the camp had all licked the blood on the tip of the knife, and when they heard that they were going to attack the capital, they were all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The capital is the most prosperous city in the world, if they can enter it, it means that the number of the king of Li is really exhausted, and after the capital is laid, they can also be justified, so that who will have the idea of disagreeing, one by one rubbing their palms, it seems that they are waiting for Lu Li's order to directly lead the troops into the capital.
Among a bunch of people, only Li Wenfeng can barely keep calm.
"From where we are now, it will take three or five days to attack the capital, and although there is no army in the capital to defend it, there is a royal forest army in the city, and the walls of the capital are very strong, are you sure that the food and salary can be dispatched in the later stage?"
"Yes."
As soon as Li Wenfeng's words fell, An Xiabai stood up.
"Leave all the logistics such as grain and grass dispatch to me, and I will definitely be able to ensure that the soldiers have no worries about food and clothing."
The generals in the camp tent all cast surprised glances at An Xiabai, and many of them had admiration in their eyes.
Someone said with emotion in front of everyone: "I heard people outside say that Mrs. and the general are a match made in heaven, at that time I didn't dare to believe it, until now I really saw the scene of the general and the wife cooperating, I really feel that the eyes of the masses are bright, Mrs. and the general is a match made in heaven, as long as our military camp has a lady and the general in charge, the future war will be able to fight the people." ”
When those hot-blooded men heard this, they all stood up and cheered, and An Xiabai was surrounded by them to Lu Li's side.
An Xiabai's cheeks were rare red.
Since the day he said that he was going to attack the capital, the army had been preparing for the siege, and as usual, Lu Li personally led the vanguard army to the capital, while An Xiabai and others escorted grain and grass to follow behind.
Funny to say, the scouts in the capital were probably fascinated by the drunken gold fan, and it was not until the army gradually approached the capital that they realized that something was wrong, and ran to report to the king of Li.
At that time, it was the early dynasty, and when King Li heard the news, he almost fell off the throne.
"What do you say? Someone attacked the capital? ”
The guard who came to report pale: "There is an army approaching in the direction of the capital, and now it is only ten miles away from the capital, according to the scout letter, those troops are dressed in the standard, it is Lu Li's army, Lu Li is going to attack the capital!" ”
King Li sat on the yellow throne and couldn't breathe for a long time, and the courtiers below were also silent, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard in the entire hall.
"Don't you usually like to talk to this king, why don't you dare to speak now? Didn't they all have a lot of insight into the military camp before, but now they have a way to come out and let this king do it! What are you doing in a daze, are you all dumb? ”
The ministers trembled, and no one dared to squeak.
After waiting for a while, King Li waited until a young general took the initiative to stand up: "Your Highness, now is the critical moment for the survival of the capital, we can't be sure for the time being how many troops Lu Li brought this time, the best way is to close the city gate first, send scouts to report to General Zhou Guan, and let him return to help quickly." ”
King Li nodded, and said in a trembling voice: "You're right, go quickly, do it quickly!" ”
These officials, who have stayed in the capital all the year round and have never experienced the baptism of war, are the first time they have encountered such a major event as the siege of the capital, and they are all about to be frightened, and they can't wait to hide in their cellars now and never come out again. It was also at such a critical juncture that they realized the importance of military generals, and King Li, who had been too lazy to look at Fang Zhen before, also remembered the general under him, and directly pulled people out to solve the immediate crisis.
As soon as Fang Zhen appeared, he really calmed the situation.
He first put the capital into a state of martial law, and then gathered all the available troops in the capital into his own hands, with the main strategy of defending the city, no matter how provocative the army outside was, he would not come out.
The strength of the capital is not comparable to the strength of Lu Li's troops, and it is a good strategy to defend the city without fighting, but some people can't sit still.
Someone repeatedly bullied Fang Zhen when he was down, and now seeing that he is in power, he is afraid of retaliation, so he has been pampering King Li for several days to let Fang Zhen go out to fight to boost the army's heart, and King Li agreed, so Fang Zhen reluctantly led his troops to fight out, and as a result, he was up and down several times, just because the person who came to fight was Nan Hui.
Fang Zhen is ruthless, and Nan Hui is also ruthless, especially in some aspects, Nan Hui is much more vicious than Fang Zhen, who can't see blood.
"General, have you seen ........" When Nan Hui returned from the victory, An Xiabai's figure shook slightly, "Nan Hui's swordsmanship is very unusual. ”
Lu Li, who was standing beside her, nodded solemnly.
In fact, it is said that Nanjuni's swordsmanship is unusual, and it is polite, at this time, it should be more accurate to describe the enemy's evaluation of Nanjuni, just because Nanjuni's performance on the battlefield is too ruthless, and when the general goes to the battlefield, few people will command behind him and rarely lead the charge to Nanjuni, several times he has fallen into danger, and the result is to rely on his own swordsmanship, to kill a bloody road.
The enemy called Nan Hui a ghost general, because almost all the soldiers who fought in front of Nan Hui did not survive, his moves were too ruthless, and his moves were deadly, and when he rushed out of the battlefield covered in blood, it was like Shura in the world.
It's unusual.
At nightfall, Lu Li and An Xiabai decided to talk to Nan Hui about this matter.
They thought it would be a difficult thing to get Nan Hui to admit it, but what they didn't expect was that when he appeared in front of Nan Hui and just said the topic, Nan Hui admitted it without hesitation.
"Your suspicions are right, but I have a hobby in that area." Nan Hui said with a cold face, "When I was a killer before, I knew that I was different from others, but I didn't care at that time, and then I followed General Li into the barracks, so I restrained a lot," he paused, and the corners of his lips hooked a wry smile, "I only have words to provoke this kind of character when I am on the battlefield, but if you also think I am too cruel, I can correct it." ”
It's just a matter of spending a little less effort, and Nan Hui doesn't care very much.
An Xiabai and Lu Li glanced at each other, then wrinkled their brows and asked, "Only on the battlefield will have an attack, that's nothing." ”
"You don't care?"
An Xiabai smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Enemy, isn't it that you live for me, if you don't kill them, they will cross the line of defense to kill us, this is life, if you join the army, you should have the consciousness of death, as long as you can usually hold back and don't do anything to people at will, then this problem is actually not very big." ”
Lu Li, who was sitting next to him, also nodded in agreement: "That's what Madam said." ”
Nan Hui looked at the way they should talk to each other, and the corners of his lips curled up rarely: "Thank you for your understanding." ”
