Facts have proved that Liu Fengfeng's guess at the beginning was correct, not only did the soldiers in the military camp not consider defecting to King Li's side, but even strengthened their determination to support Lu Li, cheers one after another, Lu Li was trapped in this sea, and they were a little drunk for a while.

"Thank you brothers for your trust," moved very much, and poured a large bowl of wine, "This bowl of wine should be regarded as my Lu Li's respect for you, and you will have blessings and hardships in the future, and your trust in Lu Li will definitely not be disappointed." ”

There was another wave of cheers in the barracks.

By the time the dust washing banquet was over, the time had turned to late at night, Lu Li's figure swayed slightly, and he slowly returned to his room with the support of Liu Fengfeng, and Nan Hui came up with him, they discussed it, and after the dust washing banquet was over, they went back to discuss the affairs of the army, especially about the bandits, because Nan Hui was not easy to make up his mind on some things, so he had to say that Lu Li had to make a decision.

Someone in the camp had already prepared the decanting soup, Lu Li drank it, and felt that his body had finally recovered a little, and after his thoughts calmed down, he suddenly remembered something.

"You shouldn't have guessed the reaction of the soldiers, right?"

Lu Li thought to himself, he had only been away for a short month, such a short time was not enough to change a person, let alone change his way of thinking, the Liu Fengfeng he saw today was really different from the usual Liu Fengfeng.

Lu Li's overly careful thinking made Lu Li can't help but start to doubt.

Liu Fengfeng didn't expect to be debunked so quickly, so he smiled shyly and said, "Brother Lu is really still Brother Lu." ”

It turned out that the soldiers were willing to follow Lu Li, not guessed by Liu Fengfeng, but the situation in the army.

"Brother Lu, don't you know, since you left, there has been a problem with the supply of grain and grass for our army, and I asked several times that I was so poor that I had no food, and the food I ate later was borrowed from the local people. Because of the fire in our hearts, Nan Hui and I tied up the official responsible for escorting the grain and grass to the barracks, and inquired about the situation in front of many soldiers. ”

Lu Li's heart buzzed, as if he had knocked over the spice bottle, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings.

"Isn't it deliberately trying to harm people when soldiers send troops and don't give food, what does the imperial court think?"

"I wanted to ask this question too, but unfortunately before I could ask, the people were gone." Every time he thinks of something, Liu Fengfeng still has a lot of emotion in his heart, "Thanks to the imperial court's practice of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, if it weren't for their extreme behavior, how would the soldiers see their true colors, and then be willing to follow Brother Lu to fight?" The soldiers have rods and scales in their hearts, and they understand it. ”

Lu Li was also quite surprised by this, and finally he and Liu Fengfeng looked at each other and smiled.

Now that the problem of whether the soldiers follow or not has been solved, there is another thing at present, that is, foreign enemies.

These days, Lu Li has been busy dealing with various things, and rarely asks about the situation at the border gate, so he is very worried about them: "Since I left these days, have the bandits ever called, and how have you dealt with it?" ”

"What else can I do, of course it's a fight." Liu Fengfeng smiled and said, "When it comes to fighting, I have to admire Nan Hui, if it weren't for his ability to dispatch troops, Brother Lu, you might not be able to see me now!" ”

Lu Li's heart moved, and he began to ask what had happened these days.

It turned out that after he handed over the handsome seal and left the border pass, Nan Hui and Liu Fengfeng led the troops to fight with those bandits, at first they were played by the bandits, and then gradually figured out the situation, and after understanding the situation, they had a tendency to overtake, and the two sides have been fighting until now, and the bandits failed and ended.

"You may not believe me when I say it, Brother Lu, but you have to believe me, everything is true, the bandits are now at the end of their crossbows, and they can't even resist the most basic, a few days ago, they even sent a letter asking for peace!"

As soon as Liu Fengfeng's voice fell, Nan Hui picked up the conversation and said clearly like Lu Li, saying that he called him over this time, mainly because of the bandits.

"Now that our situation is very good, the bandits are retreating one after another, and they are obviously preparing to flee in another direction, and what their subordinates want to ask is how to deal with this gang of bandits?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to continue to focus on them at this time, after all, we are not safe behind us now, King Li is still eyeing us in the capital, maybe he is waiting for an opportunity for the snipe and clam to fight, if we waste too much energy on the bandits, we will suffer ourselves."

Nan Hui nodded, in fact, he thought so in his heart.

Since Lu Li is in peace, then the question is in front of them again, how to make the other party willing, and never do it again?

Lu Li's eyes rolled, and it didn't take long for him to come up with a way.

"I've already thought of an idea, but I can't tell you directly, I just ask you, is there a way to capture the leader of the bandits alive now, in addition to the leader, there are several other relatively high positions, and they are also tied up."

Nan Hui and Liu Fengfeng looked at each other, and no one knew what kind of medicine was buried in Lu Li's gourd.

But they didn't ask too much, after all, asking too many of these kinds of questions will only make things worse, and it is better to do more than to ask more!

They vented all their confusion on the arrest of people.

I don't know if the leader of the mountain bandits was too careless, or if Nan Hui and Liu Fengfeng acted too secretively and they didn't find out, in short, arresting people became one of their easiest tasks, and it didn't take long for people to be brought to Lu Li.

"I don't want to fight with you any longer."

Because he was too lazy, and because the other party's gaze was not friendly, Lu Li didn't even bother to go around the bend, and after meeting, he directly expressed his intention to the other party.

His confession drew a roll of the bandit leader's eyes.

"You dream about it, even if we are starved to death and thirsty, we will never agree to you!"

Lu Li was yelled at by him like this, but he didn't get angry, because he knew in his heart that the leader of the mountain bandits deliberately yelled at himself to seek death, and Lu Li didn't want him to succeed easily.

"Take them down, let them be thirsty and hungry first, and then talk about it when they are unwell and want to talk."

Hearing this, the mountain bandit leader's eyes widened suddenly.

Hey, the situation doesn't seem to be what I expected, why didn't a person in a high position like Lu Li not get angry after being yelled at all times, but also talked to the people around him with a smile, did he have another conspiracy?

The leader of the mountain bandits didn't dare to take it lightly at all, not only did he not eat or drink today, but he didn't even sleep, and kept his eyes open, just because he was afraid that he would be plotted by Lu Li when he fell asleep.

Looking at his nervous appearance, Lu Li felt for the first time in his life what it means to cry and laugh.

The bones of this gang of bandits are also really hard, they didn't eat or drink for several days, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, but they insisted on not letting go, looking at their increasingly thin appearance, Lu Li understood that it was not a way to go on like this, so he temporarily changed his mind.

Picking a meal in the barracks, he brought a pot of chicken legs and appeared in front of the bandits.

Among them, a few of them were not determined, and they saw that the chicken leg in Lu Li's hand swallowed saliva louder than anyone else.

The leader of the mountain bandits was also angry, he looked at Lu Li with angry eyes, and asked loudly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, deliberately picked out a chicken leg that he knew was very delicious at a glance in front of them and took a bite, and turned his head to smile at them and said, "The scenery here is good, just change places to eat." ”

When the mountain bandits heard this, they were almost so angry that they smoked.

Just when they were on fire, Lu Li had already finished gnawing a chicken leg, and then slipped the bowl containing the food in front of them, until their eyes were straight, and their saliva was almost confiscated.

This is the opportunity that Lu Li is waiting for.

"I have been on the orders of the imperial court to suppress bandits for a long time, and I am familiar with you who have fallen into the grass, and it is not easy to know you." As he spoke, he secretly observed the faces of those people in the prison with the corner of his eye, and said with a smile, "People, they all want to live, maybe you were forced to fall into the grass before, or for some other reason, I don't really want to pay attention to these, because I want to give you a chance to choose again." ”

The bandits raised their eyes, their eyes full of surprise.

If it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes, who would have believed that the people of the government would be willing to deal with mountain bandits?

"What do you mean by the opportunity to choose again?" The leader of the mountain bandits asked nervously.

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh: "Of course, I will give you some silver taels, draw a piece of land, and let you go, from now on, you will never have to live the kind of wandering life with no fixed place before, and you don't have to continue to be afraid, maybe you can marry a daughter-in-law to inherit the lineage, and live your own small life from now on, isn't it good?" ”

Lu Li's words fell in the ears of the mountain bandits, like a temptation that could not be refused.

If you are not desperate, who wants to fall into the grass and be chased and scolded from now on, and you don't even have a place to live? Some of these bandits even have their own families, they don't want to go back all the time, and now there is an opportunity in front of them, and anyone will be shaken.

"General Lu, are you serious?" One of the bandits asked in disbelief, "We are mountain bandits, mountain bandits who have fought with you several times before, not ordinary people." ”

"If I let you go back, you will definitely understand what it means to cherish the present better than ordinary people, so I'm not joking with you," Lu Li said with a serious expression, "You just need to give me a definite answer now, whether you want to live in peace or die here, you say?" ”

Several mountain bandits looked at each other, and finally chose to grit their teeth and nod.

"We want to have a peaceful birthday!"

A shallow smile appeared between Lu Li's lips: "I understand, I'll arrange it for you." ”
