The four of them exchanged pleasantries in the hall for a while, and Li Yuan later ordered someone to prepare a banquet in the mansion, ready to invite Li Zuoche to stay and have a drink. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Li Zuoche on the grounds of military affairs.

"Uncle, there is no need to be like this, I won't hide what you said, my nephew who came back this time is really in military affairs."

"Military affairs? Why are you here, and can you tell your uncle a thing or two? Li Yuan asked with a smile on his face when he heard this.

When Li Shimin on the side heard this, he smiled and said secretly: It seems that he didn't guess wrong, this guy is finally about to reveal his true intentions!

"Alas! This is natural, my uncle and two brothers are my own family, so why not tell them? The king of Qi was defeated by Ju Ning before, and then was ambushed and intercepted by the Chu army, and suffered heavy losses, and now retreated to Lu County. I came here this time to help King Qi get through this difficult time with the assets of my Li family. Li Zuoche said meaningfully.

When Li Yuan heard this, he touched his beard and said: "Zuoche, although my Li family is a big evil family, but the grain and grass are limited, I am afraid that I will not be able to solve the urgent need of King Qi!" Now, the Chu army is about to enter, and my uncle, as the guard of a county, is also expanding the scale of the county soldiers, and if he doesn't succeed in resisting, he will become a benevolent!

Not only is there not enough food and grass, but even the weapons used by the county soldiers are scarce. Now many soldiers don't even have a decent piece of armor. So, I'm going to disappoint you this time! ”

When Li Zuoche heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, he naturally knew what Li Yuan was thinking about again, and on the way here, he had already heard that the people had heard that Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanba, had pulled out the Zhenyue sword, and Li Yuan wanted to recruit troops and buy horses to restore the name of Li Jiawu'an!

When he was at the gate just now, Li Zuoche had already seen the long queue that came to sign up for the army, Li Yuan was not enough food and grass, and it was clear that the equipment of the soldiers was not enough, this was asking for combat equipment from him in disguise!

Thinking of this, Li Zuoche was angry from his heart, but now he is a tiger in Pingyang, if he doesn't hurry up and transport the grain and grass back, I'm afraid that if Xiang Yu doesn't attack, the army will mutiny, and now he is facing all the conditions offered by this uncle, he can only promise to do so, otherwise he doesn't want to get a grain of grain!

"As the guardian of a county, my uncle can live and die with the city, which is really convincing to Zuoche! But the uncle also has to understand that if the King of Qi in Lu County is defeated, I am afraid that it will be impossible to resist the wolf-like Chu army with only the land of Lang and Evil Hundred Miles, right? Li Zuoche didn't smile and smiled.

Li Yuan's father and son naturally heard the meaning of Li Zuoche's words, and the father and son still knew the truth of their lips and teeth. But who is Li Yuan, how could he let Li Zuoche easily take his savings from his trouser pocket?

"What my nephew said is right, but my uncle has made up his mind, even if my uncle is wearing a cloth coat and holding a rotten wood, he will definitely live and die with Lang Evil City!" Li Yuan said with a noble look.

Li Zuoche couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard this, and when Xiang Yu came in, I'm afraid you were the first person to open the city gate to welcome people, right? Or live and die with the city?

"Uncle has such a heart, it is really admirable to the little nephew, he is also a member of the Li family, and the little nephew should help the uncle! This time, I brought a lot of weapons and armor to my uncle, which can be handed over to my uncle to use, which is better than when the Chu army is approaching the city, my uncle is holding a rotten wood charge!

Uncle rest assured, this batch of ordnance will be sent to his uncle early tomorrow morning. There was something in the army, and the little nephew took his leave first! ”

Li Zuoche gave up his hand, turned his head and left, and was just about to step out of the hall, but was stopped by Li Yuan.

"Left car, left car! You wait! ”

"Oh? What else is the matter with my uncle? Li Zuoche turned his head to look, only to see Li Yuan followed by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin walking forward.

Li Zuoche smiled when he saw the father and son who came forward, it seems that you three foxes also can't sit still! Hum!

"Left car! In this case, my uncle should express his gratitude to the king for his support! So be it! Uncle doesn't have much grain and grass, how about giving you 100,000 stone for the time being? ”

Li Yuan said, only feeling a pain in his flesh, although the Li family has a great cause, but 100,000 stone grain is not a small amount.

"Good! Good! The nephew is here to thank the uncle for his generosity! The nephew took his leave first! Li Zuoche said that he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yuan again.

"By the way, my uncle has another request, I hope you can tell the king about the left car!"

"What request?"

"I hope that the king can send some veterans of the army to come and assist my uncle and me in training the recruited recruits. I don't know if it's possible? ”

Li Zuoche looked at Li Yuan's inch-inch, and really wanted to punch him in the face, but he could only endure it for the time being.

"Good! This is no problem, early tomorrow morning, I will send a thousand people to stay in the county to help your uncle train the army! However, can my uncle's grain and grass ......?"

"Hahaha! This is no problem, my nephew can come to get food early tomorrow morning, and my uncle will load it for you overnight tonight!"

"Then thank you, uncle! Uncle and King Qi are now grasshoppers on the same rope! ”

Li Zuoche smiled meaningfully and said goodbye, and then walked out of the hospital.

Looking at Li Zuoche's distant back, Li Yuan's teeth itched with hatred.

"Daddy! Why did you agree to give your cousin 100,000 stone of grain in one bite, that's three months' income for the Li family!" Li Jiancheng frowned.

"What if you don't give it? Didn't you hear him? Now we and King Qi are grasshoppers on the same rope!

Besides, in terms of the combat effectiveness of those recruits, can they go to the battlefield and fight the wolf-like Chu army? If Han Xin is finished, then Lang Evil will also be finished!" Li Yuan yelled irritably, and then threw up his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Li Yuan was so angry, Li Jiancheng didn't dare to say anything, and strode away, leaving the thoughtful Li Shimin standing alone.

Seeing his father and brother leave one after another, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked up a smile: "Hahaha, I don't lose this time, I have to find a way to blackmail Li Zuoche again!" ”

…………

The endless plain has entered the side of Lingxun's Shushui, and the three groups of people are approaching Lu County from different directions, forming a situation of encircling Lu County and missing one.

In the southwest of Lu County, Xiang Yu personally led 20,000 horses all the way to Lu County.

"Report! Report to the king, the front is only twenty miles away from Lu County! A letter from Lord Zhuge that his leaders have arrived at the city!"

"Hmmm! Tell Kong Ming to set up camp five miles away from Lu County and make siege equipment!" Xiang Yu looked at the scout and said.

"No!" The scout immediately turned on his horse and headed straight for the front camp.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Where is the Xu Mao Public Office now?!"

"King Qiqi, Xu Junshi has now arrived in Yishui, ten miles away from Lu County, and is now being intercepted by the Qi army across the river!"

"Good! Since he still dares to intercept him in the wild, then eat him for me! Sent to Gao Hu Haoxiong, let them take their troops and horses to Yishui, and eat the Qi army for me!"

"No!"
