"Worried, I'm worried to death......" Wang Zhu squatted on the ground, holding his head and sighing, distressed, confused and vicissitudes, like a middle-aged scumbag who was forced by Xiao San to divorce his yellow-faced mother-in-law.

Li Sule: "It's so rare, it's rare to see you worried, why are you worried?" Didn't eat well or didn't sleep well? ”

Wang Zhu glared at him and said, "You can still laugh, the army of the Western Regions is about to come to the city when they speak, just rely on the thousands of people in our Xizhou, and the city wall that can be broken down by urine, what is the matter?" Sooner or later, we're afraid we'll have to die here. ”

Li Su blinked: "So you're worried about this?" ”

"Yes, I can't sleep at night...... Wang Zhuan looked serious, and he looked worried about the country and the people.

"I can't sleep at night, and I snort during the day...... I said, if you are worried, you can show some sincerity to worry, even if you are not sincere, don't sleep next to me, okay? ”

Wang Zhu automatically skipped this question: "Will the main forces of the armies of the Western Regions definitely come to attack Xizhou?" ”

Li Su nodded: "It will definitely come." ”

"How much longer?"

Li Su thought for a while and said: "The new defeat of the Gaochang army may be unexpected by them, and the armies of many small countries need to be assembled, integrated, and prioritized, and they also need time, so we will have a period of respite, but it won't last long, at least two months, at most four or five months, it's almost time to come." ”

"Do you have a solution?" Wang Zhuan's expression was a little gloomy.

"What else can I do? Anyway, we now have more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xizhou, and if the enemy comes to attack the city, it can barely withstand it for a while. ”

Wang Zhu sighed, his disdainful and contemptuous appearance was quite Li Su's charm, and he didn't know how long he had been practicing this expression in secret.

"The two Zhechong Mansions in Xizhou plus our cavalry battalion, the total number of serious government soldiers is more than 2,000. Is it difficult for you to count those newly recruited people as village warriors, these village warriors are majestic when they practice, shouting and killing to shake the ground, and they are really in the battle formation of killing, and they have to pee their pants in the first round, counting on them? Hehe......"

Li Su spread his hands: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" The situation today. But there is a trace of power that can be used, and I will use them to the best of my ability, and do my best to hold the city, until this round is passed, and until His Majesty has his hands free in the north, then we can raise our eyebrows. ”

Wang Zhu said worriedly: "What kind of anger are you exhaling, at that time, we were afraid that we would even feel angry......

After looking stunned for a moment, Wang Zhu suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Su's face seriously: "You have always been a capable person. You can solve the big problems in your hands, and this time is no exception, right? Did you hide some good ideas that you didn't say? Tell me, you must have a way. ”

Li Su smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Soldiers, the major event of life and death, since ancient times, it has been straight and straight, there is no shortcut, there are thousands of wars throughout the ages, and there are only a handful of people who can really outnumber." I'm just a lazy farmer's kid, and I have no experience leading soldiers. Where is there any way to resist the attacker? You're looking too highly of me, and this time, I'm really helpless. ”

Wang Zhu was stunned, and then showed a look of disappointment: "So...... I'm afraid Xizhou really can't hold it. ”

Li Su said in a heavy tone: "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, I will guard the city." Until the last moment of the fall of the city......"

"What about after the fall of the city?"

"Of course abandon the city and flee......" Li Su looked at him strangely: "You don't think I'm going to die with the city, do you?" I'm not that great, it's enough to do my last effort, heaven leaves a line, people leave a line, there is no need to do everything too hard. Martyrdom or something, death is meaningless. ”

Wang Zhu was very dissatisfied with this answer: "How can you abandon the city?" I can't abandon it, and when I return to Chang'an in the future, I won't have the face to see the father and ...... in Guanzhong."

Li Su said strangely: "Why don't you have the face to see?" You see, I have done so many things for Xizhou, whether it is the preparation before the war, or the persistence during the war, I have persisted until the last moment before the city is broken, whether it is for my hometown fathers, His Majesty and Sheji, even for myself, I feel worthy of anyone, do I have to die in Xizhou to be considered loyal? I can obviously play a greater role for Datang Sheji in the future and add more glory to Datang, why does a person who will be of great use in the future have to die here? ”

Wang Zhu was dumbfounded and speechless.

Compared with lip service, the Wang brothers have not been Li Su's opponents since they were children, with Wang Zhuan's simple brain circuit, which is almost like a blank sheet of paper, he can't even tell whether Li Su's words are correct or crooked, where is the ability to refute him?

"Yes...... Is that so? "Wang Zhu is entangled.

"Of course, look at my sincere eyes...... See? Do you understand? What's inside? It's all full of love for the Tang Society, isn't it much better to keep a useful body and do something more meaningful than to die in Xizhou? If you can't defend the city, don't defend it, why do people in the world always like to do stupid things that will kill the city? What does the death of the city prove? Loyalty? Integrity? Don't you think it's stupid to pay with your life for these two things? ”

Wang Zhu was silent, and he could clearly see circles of halos in his eyes, obviously he had entered a hypnotized state, very good, and the brainwashing was successful.

Different values determine the different approaches to things, Li Su comes from later generations, the education he received in his previous life is pragmatic education, there was no gunpowder smoke and war in that era, there was no impassioned life and death, so everything strives to reap the greatest benefits at the minimum cost.

It's all on the line, what's the point? After all, the city is a dead thing, and it can't run away if it is placed there, and it is occupied by the enemy, and it is the most correct way to save his life and find a way to accumulate strength and then take it back, this is pragmatism, in his opinion, martyrdom is simply idiot's doing.

Fortunately, although Wang Zhuan's appearance of being freshly brainwashed now looks a little stupid, he at least got out of the idiot circle and congratulated Wang Jiahe.

"There is something you can do, and this matter can only be left to you......" Li Su said in a low voice.

Wang Zhu came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you remember the earth-shattering thunder I once built under Songzhou City?"

Wang Zhu grinned: "Why don't you remember, that clay pot is very powerful." ”

Li Su said in a deep voice: "Three materials, you quickly go and prepare, sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, and some egg whites and graphite powder, go to those merchants in Xizhou City, just say that the cavalry camp will buy at twice the price, and you can't tell them the three things directly, for fear of being remembered by someone who cares, and mix something else in the middle, such as granite, nanmu, lime, etc., to achieve the purpose of confusing the public......"

Wang Zhu rubbed his hands excitedly: "If this thing is made too much, it is really possible for Xizhou to hold it!" ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "You think too highly of it, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a dead object after all, throwing it out may be able to collect a shocking effect, after a long time, the enemy will be able to figure out how to deal with it, it will not work, so, it can assist us in defending the city, but we must not completely count on it." ”

"It's useful, it's all right! The explosion is very loud, there is no living thing within a radius of two zhang, let's build thousands of it, we can't keep Xizhou if we don't believe it! Wang Zhu smiled happily, and seemed to disagree with Li Su's negative attitude.

Li Su smiled, and didn't bother to argue with him.

"I personally pulled a cavalry team and went to Shazhou, and the secret party didn't dare to let outsiders know, Your Majesty would blame you." Wang Zhu is particularly awake at this time, which may be related to the fact that he has just been brainwashed.

Li Su nodded, hesitated, and said: "Wang Zhuan, my brother doesn't say anything outside, after you go to Shazhou to buy things, you ask the cavalry team to go back to Xizhou, and you go back to Chang'an first......"

Wang Zhuleng paused, and his face suddenly darkened: "What's the matter?" Use the rotten excuse of your mother-in-law to take me away? The war is coming, you told me to leave my brother and run back to Chang'an by myself, this is simply ...... It's even more shameful than abandoning the city and running away! Phew! Don't let me hear this in the future, otherwise my brother won't be able to do it! ”

After saying that, Wang Zhu spat on the ground fiercely, and turned away angrily.

Li Su looked at the foaming saliva on the ground tangledly, a little disgusted, and wanted to vomit......

It is said that Zhu Zhechi is near, and Wang Zhu has been close to him for more than ten years, so why can't he change the problem of not liking cleanliness?

And......

Li Su smacked his lips, suddenly came back to his senses, got up and said angrily at Wang Zhuan's back: "You come back for me!" Is it a shame to abandon the city and flee? Where is the shame? What do you mean? (To be continued......)
