Lu Li began to discuss with the soldiers in his military camp how to help Luoyang City get out of the current situation, he first invited all the generals in the military camp who could speak, and even Ling Hongjiu and others who said that they didn't understand the affairs of the military camp were also invited, and then they began to talk about the siege.

That Ling Hongjiu has been sorting out the follow-up things for Ling Cheng and other cities that have just been conquered, and he himself has not studied military affairs, so Luoyang City has been besieged for a long time, and he only got the news today.

"Luoyang City is under siege? By whom? ”

Although Luoyang Zheng Zhinan is now in an alliance with Lu Li, this matter has not yet been announced, so Luoyang City still maintains relations with the imperial court on the surface.

In this case, who will attack Luoyang City?

In Ling Hongjiu's surprised gaze, Lu Li said the name of the Zhou Pipeline.

"It turned out to be him, no wonder there has been a lot of security on the camp side recently."

Although there was nothing unusual about Ling Hongjiu's performance, Lu Li still saw something strange in his sharp eyes.

"Brother Ling is so concerned about the current situation in Luoyang City, could it be that he has an old friend with Lord Zheng?"

"Sort of, I traveled in my early years and went to Luoyang City for a period of time, at that time Lord Zheng was still an ordinary scholar, the two of us hit it off at first sight, talked very happily, and often corresponded over the years. However, after the war began, we stopped contacting each other, and I didn't expect him to be in such a difficult situation now. Ling Hongjiu sighed for his friend, and then turned his gaze to look at Lu Li, "General Lu gathered us all today because of the siege of Luoyang City?" ”

"That's right," everyone present is a trustworthy person, so Lu Li is not taboo, "Luoyang City is an alliance with us after all, and everyone in the world is watching it, if we abandon it, I'm afraid that those who want to form an alliance with us will also be cold, so this Luoyang City must be saved." ”

Before meeting Ling Hongjiu, Lu Li had already come up with a way in his heart, that is, to break through the encirclement of Zhou Zhouguan by water.

But when he saw Ling Hongjiu today, he suddenly felt that he could change his approach.

"Lord Ling, can you speak in front of Lord Zheng? How do you have a relationship with Master Zheng? ”

Ling Hongjiu Su Ri'an didn't quite understand why he suddenly asked this question, but he still answered truthfully.

"We refer to each other as confidants."

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Li's lips.

"My original plan was to help Luoyang City out of trouble by water, but now it seems that it is not needed. In the past, we formed an alliance with Lord Zheng of Luoyang City, relying on the relationship of the Yang family, and now the Yang family is reluctant to go out, so it is very difficult, but now things may be able to take a turn for the better. ”

That turning point was the relationship between Ling Hongjiu and Zheng Zhinan.

Lu Li asked Ling Hongjiu to write a letter and sent someone to Luoyang City by water overnight.

Just when everyone in Nanhuai City was silently waiting for the letterhead from Luoyang City, Zhou Guan was annoyed in the Zhou Guan camp not far from Luoyang City.

The trust of the officers and men in the army is getting lower and lower.

Before, for the sake of Zhou Guan is person personally sent by King Li, the soldiers were very convinced of him, even if they were dissatisfied with this young general who had not saved military merits, at least they did not show it positively. But this delicate balance was shattered with their death after Zhou Guan smashed into the wooden house near the barracks and killed several soldiers in front of many soldiers that day.

There began to be rumors in the army that Zhou Guan did not regard the lives of the soldiers as human lives at all, but regarded them as pigs and dogs, and even more excessively, they directly said that Zhou Guan regarded human lives as grass mustard, and did not take the needs of the soldiers to heart at all, and now he looked at the dignified appearance, maybe one day he would throw people to the battlefield to die!

The gossip made the people in the barracks panic.

Zhou Guan is young and vigorous, where can he endure after hearing these words?

On the same day, the soldiers who spread the rumors were found, and then dealt with them by military law in front of many soldiers in the barracks.

But this practice made the rumors in the barracks more and more difficult to sound.

What's more, they even said that Zhou Guan was going to be defeated, King Li was going to be defeated, they would die sooner or later, rather than staying under them to do things, it was better to defect to Lu Li!

I don't know if anyone went to Lu Li Zhouguan, all he knows is that the army's morale is getting more and more sluggish, and he wants to wipe out these words, but how can you block it?

He could only endure it again and again.

I don't know who passed this news to Lu Li, Lu Li thought that this was a good opportunity, so he ordered the messenger to talk to Zhou Guan, saying that he learned of his current situation, and wanted to talk to Zhou Guan about the current situation in an open territory not far from Nanhuai City.

An Xiabai disagrees with this matter.

"Husband, you wrote in the letter that on the day of the meeting, you didn't bring a single attendant, and the two met alone, isn't it not safe?"

Now Lu Li is the backbone of Nanhuai City and Lingcheng, and has been the backbone of several other cities, and all the soldiers and people have to rely on him to command.

What An Xiabai thought in his heart, why wasn't Lu Li once considered it?

"Madam, don't worry," Lu Li said to An Xiabai with a smile, "Before I proposed to meet him, I had already thought of a complete plan, and on the day of the meeting, even if I went to the appointment, there would be no accidents." ”

"Really?" An Xiabai was a little unconvinced.

But Lu Li nodded firmly, so she couldn't help but believe it.

"Since my husband insists on going, then I won't stop me, and I hope that when my husband is outside, you must be cautious and careful, I will wait for you to come back at home."

Looking at the concerned expression on her delicate leather face, Lu Li's heart moved slightly, and he kissed her directly on the cheek.

"I'll be back safely."

On the day of the appointment, Lu Li left Nanhuai City without any guards, and soon came to the agreed place.

To his deep surprise, Zhou Guan came earlier than him.

It seems that this person is also looking forward to the temporary alliance.

There was a sound from the horse's hooves stepping on the fallen leaves, and when Zhou Guan heard the sound, he turned around to look, and saw that Lu Li really came alone, and when he didn't bring a single guard with him, his expression was a little complicated.

"You're so relieved? Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and let people come here in advance to ambush you? ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I believe that General Zhou can see the situation in front of him clearly. ”

At present, the person who can pose the biggest threat to Zhou Guan is not Lu Li's army in Nanhuai City at all, but Feng Bailin's army and Zhang Huifeng's army, as well as those soldiers and horses under Xiong Qian's sailors, these two people seem to have the same hatred on the surface, but in fact, they have already been separated, if it weren't for this, Xiong Qianshui would not have ignored Zhou Guan when he was in a predicament.

These two people, things have gone so far, but they are still thinking about how to get the attention of King Li.

Lu Li dared to come because Zhouguan's current situation was not good.

Neither of them likes to detour and is not familiar with each other, so after saying the necessary opening words as soon as they met, the two got straight to the point.

It was Lu Li who opened his mouth first: "I put forward a condition, if General Zhou agrees, I can not only order my soldiers to stop harassing your military camp, but even let your troops stay in Luoyang City go back safely, if there is an attack by the army of Feng Bailin, or Xiong Lishui and others during the period, I can also help." ”

That sounds like a good choice.

Now Zhou Guan is in a dilemma that Luoyang City has been unable to attack for a long time, if there is Lu Li's guarantee, not only will the Luoyang defenders not embarrass themselves when they retreat, but even those who are eyeing Feng Bailin will not dare to do it.

Zhou Guan felt that it was feasible, but the premise was that he wanted to listen to Lu Li's conditions.

"You do so much, so what should I do?"

Zhou Guancai didn't believe that Lu Li would be the one who didn't take Xiaoen Xiaohui seriously.

Sure enough, when he raised the confusion in his heart, Lu Li said confidently: "I want grain and grass." ”

Then he told Zhou Guan a number.

Seeing that Zhou Guan was stunned by his words, Lu Li sneered and said: "King Li has always been good for the army, and the supplies to you front-line troops have never been small, is it true that General Zhou can't afford to give this food?" Could it be that General Zhou really regarded the lives of those soldiers who stayed in Luoyang City as a mustard as rumored outside, and didn't care at all? ”

Zhou Guan didn't mean that he couldn't afford these grains and grasses, he just subconsciously hesitated.

The number Lu Li said was indeed a big number for the average army, but it was different for Zhou Guan, his army not only had supplies from the capital, but also grain and grass sent by several nearby cities, and the big number Lu Li said was only half of their army.

At the same time, Lu Li instigated him to say: "The supplies sent by the capital will arrive in a few days, and the general should not affect your army if I give me some grain and grass, right?" ”

Zhou Guan glanced at Lu Li hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you." ”

Lu Li did what he said, and after promising Zhou Guan that he would escort them out of Luoyang City safely, he went as promised and sent Liu Fengfeng over to take charge in person.

With his mediation and help, all the troops left by Zhou Guan outside Luoyang City retreated.

People were sent back, Lu Li acted briskly, Zhou Guan naturally did not slack off, his army just entered the camp, he sent the grain and grass to Lu Li, I thought that Lu Li would rush back to Nanhuai City as soon as possible with these grains and grass, but in a blink of an eye, there were scouts to report, saying that Lu Li took An Xia Bai and grain and grass to Luoyang City.

The grain and grass obtained from Zhou Guan's subordinates were used to solve the difficulties of Luoyang City, which Lu Li had planned a long time ago.

An Xiabai sat in the carriage on the other side, and when he entered Luoyang City with the army, there was still a smile on the corner of his lips: "Husband, you said that Zhou Guan, will he be so angry after he reacts?" ”

"I think it will." Lu Li also smiled, "Maybe he will secretly scold us again." ”
